Rock Bottom Blues
Larry Cook
The hands of time got me by the balls
What goes up is liable to fall
I walk the streets I make the rounds
Drawing circles
Nowhere bound
You hold the key
A dream to disabuse
And I
Got nothing to lose
But this rock bottom blues
You watch the river I think of the sea
More room for you, more room for me
I wave my arms I kick my legs
I'm sinking down
I'm goin' down fast
You throw the lifeline
As I paid my dues
And I
Got nothing to lose
But this rock bottom blues
What a lovely thud
What a beautiful crash
What a memorable scene
A magnificent splash
So if the other side is one orgasmic bash
I surrender my flesh
To the hands of time
That got me by the balls
