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?
Rags to riches was a bust.

Sometimes I dream about it, what it´s like back home,
The railroad tracks and the pussy willow.
But I had to leave it and 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?
Rags to riches was a bust.

Busted once again.
But I´ll show them one day that I can buy and sell the world.
One day I´ll come through with 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?
Rags to rags and rust to rust.
Don´t let me go.
Rags to rags and rust to rust.
Don´t let me go.
Rags to rags and rust to rust.
Don´t let me go.
