3:05In spite of everything Life redoubled efforts to glide backward To go in both directions This dumb boat still doesn't fly And that's no way to let a body down I believe in ballads sang After a month of midnights in hot water Scalded under holy water Punctuated with a punch of opiates And that's no way to bring a body down That's no way to bring a body down That's no way to bring a body down That's no way to bring a body down Standing with a bulging fist Of nickels for the parking meter That's the art and science part Of your eccentric sleight of hand And that's no way to cool a body down I believe in violence sang After a feast of fasting on hot water Scalded within by holy sin Punctuated with a punch of opiates And that's no way to bring a body down That's no way to bring a body down That's no way to bring a body down That's no way to bring a body down
