Nothing But a Bad Trip

[Verse 1]

The reaper came in

Caressed my hair with trembling fingers

Asked me to sing

Heard I could play, I once was a singer

Opened my mouth

But all that came out was a echoing sound

I knew without doubt

That every man can sometimes be a liar

[Chorus]

Nothing like a bad trip to bring you down

There ain't no evil and the world ain't proud

Got no smiles in the local bars

Playing for your mother with your face in the grass

Nothing like a bad trip to bring you down

The only bird in a fish bowl town

Nothing but a bad trip will bring you 'round

[Verse 2]

Introduced to his friends, that's conquest, war, and pestilence

And such a nice place

But it'll soon be ours, the name at the end

Opened my mouth

The scream that came out was not even human

Got back on the horse

Run away for a fix of some destitution

[Chorus]

Nothing like a bad trip to bring you down

There ain't no evil and the world ain't proud

Got no smiles in the local bars

Playing for your mother with your face in the grass

Nothing like a bad trip to bring you down

The only bird when a fish bowl town

Nothing but a bad trip will bring you 'round

[Bridge]

Never, never, never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never, never, never

I'm never, never, never, I'm never, never, never

I'm never, never, never, I'm never, never, never

Never, never, never, never, never, never coming down

[Chorus]

Nothing like a bad trip to bring you down

There ain't no evil and the world ain't proud

Got no smiles in the local bars

Playing for your mother with your face in the grass

Nothing like a bad trip to bring you down

The only bird when a fish bowl town

Nothing but a bad trip will bring you 'round

[Outro]

Never, never, never, never, never, never

I'm never, never, never, I'm never, never, never

I'm never, never, never, I'm never, never, never

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never ever coming down
