There?s a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror
Right on top of my right eye
And I can?t stop staring back
How did I get this way
Take a big look at a living lie

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you?ve been crushed
So rags to riches was a bust

Sometimes I dream about it
What it?s like back home
The railroad tracks and the pussywillow
But I had to leave it
Now I go back whenever my tired head hits the pillow

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you?ve been crushed
So rags to riches was a bust
Busted once again

Well I?ll show them one day
That I can buy and sell the world
And one day I?ll come through my american dream
But it won?t mean a fucking thing

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you?ve been crushed
So rags to rags and rust to rust
Don?t let me go
