Down the Dip

[Chorus]

I've put all the love and beauty

In the spirit of the night

And I'm holding my ticket tight

Stupidity and suffering

Are on that ticket, too

And I'm goin' down the dip with you

[Verse 1]

I swear I'm touched but then I'm tired

Of everyone who tries to tie me

I seem to realize

My cup overflows

I tumble down and take your hand

And no one even knows

With the broken backs

And the pac-a-macs

Sayin' that's the way it goes

[Chorus]

I've put all the love and beauty

In the spirit of the night

And I'm holding my ticket tight

Stupidity and suffering

Are on that ticket, too

And I'm goin' down the dip with you

[Verse 2]

I've been facin' all the red

I've been chasin' all the orange

While the bourgeois breed

All you need is greed

And that quiet Remembrance Day

I'm gonna pull that chain

Till the heavens rain

And I see them washed away

[Chorus]

'Cause I've bound myself to virtue

But I'm bound to make a move

If it's less than this you know I can't approve

I've been hangin' with the hollow men

Who never got the groove

Now I'm goin' down the dip with you

And I put all the love and beauty

In the spirit of the night

And I'm holding my ticket tight

Stupidity and suffering

Are on that ticket, too

And I'm goin' down the dip with you
