The Stunned Mullets - Short Rope Lyrics
He was watching his life go by his head in his handsHe looked into a bottle saw where it beganNever thought he'd end up hereWatching his old man, it was always his fearThey found him by the river a bottle close byDragged him to his feet, took him down the streetThrew him in the lockup on the floor he would lieBlood came from his head from where he was beatI've been hanging onto a short ropeStaring down at the abyss belowLife has handed me a short ropeNever thought I could get so low, Never thought I could get so lowThrew water on his face, he felt like a disgraceTried to stand up but fell on his faceThe Man he said you'll be here for a whileTake a seat you're not going no whereI've been hanging onto a short ropeStaring down at the abyss belowLife has handed me a short ropeNever thought I could get so low, Never thought I could get so lowHe was watching his life go by his head in his handsHe looked into a bottle saw where it beganNever thought he'd end up hereWatching his old man, it was always his fearThen they put him aboard a bus to no whereThe man he cracked a smile and spat on his faceYou'll have plenty of time to get yourself straightWhen they lock you up in the Psych Ward mateI've been hanging onto a short ropeStaring down at the abyss belowLife has handed me a short ropeNever thought I could get so low, Never thought I could get so low
