The Pursuit Of Happiness - The Downward Road lyrics

Well, as it happens, the talks have broken down I don't know where her head's at, but her body's still around It's tiptoe, egg shells, don't step on the cracks When she walks out the door is she ever coming back It gets so quiet, it gets so still You wish she'd break something, but you know she never will If it's true that the eyes are the mirror of the soul Then hers is hard and cold and completely in control of yours Hey, hey, it's so empty inside Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified Hey, hey, that's the second time you've cried Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified She looks at your face and sees you're thirsty for a shake So she slithers over you like a cool smooth snake It's sound and fury, that ends without a kiss And you know down deep you can't live without this There's nothing for her, she gets you off and goes to work Leaves you panting in bed, feeling like a jerk You put on your gla**es, haul up your a** And take a walk to the corner saloon (you buffoon) Hey, hey, it's so empty inside Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified Hey, hey, that's the third time you've cried Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified You can sleep till noon, you can drink out of her shoe Run your fingers through her clothes, spray yourself with her perfume And you'll never know, never know, man I never know What to do, what I do to make you come unglued Hey, hey, it's so empty inside Hey, hey, she leaves me terrified Hey, hey, that's the fourth time I cried Hey, hey, she leaves me terrified
