lyrics
Down to the Ravine
written by Serene Dominic
There comes a time when every man decides what is wrong or right
And now that time has come for me
If I can't be the man I want to be
I'll be the man I've gotta be
And there is a line that every man crosses when he cuts his losses
Or when he just walks free
If I can't find the truth I wanna see
I'll take my troubles down
Down to the ravine
Down to the ravine where I'll hide these haunted bones
Down to the ravine, weigh them down with sticks and stones
I know I'll never get these hands clean
So I'll take my troubles down, down to the ravine
(Spoken)
Believe in happy ever after, son?
I don’t know. Can you name me one?
You could be a victim of circumstance
In an afterlife, no one gets a second chance
My time’s just about over And I’m not the least bit sober
Who’d a thought I’d be leaving this world Looking over my left shoulder I’m suffering through my afterlife crisis
Sure as my race is run
Where in the hell will I go when I die
What in heaven’s name have I done
To deserve this monster who wants to be my imposter
Talk about an ingrate I bought the motherfucker dinner
He rolled me like a pro, made me look like a beginner
How could a friend in need do me such a dirty deed
Leaving my regal ass to rot in the dark, dank ravine
Now this motherfucker’s draggin me across this rotting earth
Tearing up my best suit, dirtying up my finest shirt
Then without uttering a prayer or holy word
Gonna leave me unblessed in a hole under one inch of dirt
Exposed to the elements, a helluva price to pay
And all cause I was nice enough to help a schlub along the way
If I was still alive oh how I’d beat you to a blister
Hide your body in a cistern
Aw no, I don’t like you Mister!
Now it’s over and out for me, earth
Just like the last 20 bars of “Freebird”
I just wanna be me bird, waiting for my rebirth
Maybe I’ll come back as a T-bird
