THE SHINS lyrics : "No Way Down"

He's the son of a government man
And a pillar of salt
I was born with blood on my hands

And have all the signs of a bleeding heart

Living high on a giant hawk

On a mountain so steep
Keep your head in a hollow log
As the ruling fog are about to creep


What have we done?
How'd we get so far from the sun?

Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
Where a tiny few catch all of the rays


Out beyond the western squalls
In an Indian land
They work for nothing at all

They don't know the mall or the layaway plan

Dig yourself a beautiful grave

Everything you could want
Maybe those invisible slaves
Are too far away for a ghost to haunt


What do we charge?
Letting go of a claim so large

Oh, all of our working days are done
But a tiny few are having all of the fun


Get used to the dust in your lungs

Is there no way down

From this peak to solid ground
Without having our gold teeth
Pulled from our mouth


Make me a drink strong enough
To wash away this dishwater world they said was lemonade

Walk with me after the show
Maybe we can find a way through the minefield in the snow


What are they charged?
Letting go of a claim so large
Oh, all of our working days are done

But a tiny few are having all of the fun

Apologies to the sick and the young

Get used to the dust in your lungs
