End of my rope

Big fat lies and second hand news
Pocket full of change, ain't got nothing to lose
And this old hat don't fit me anymore

I'm burning time in a cheap hotel
I really don't mind 'cause I do it well
And on the way out, won't you close the door?

Thieves and lovers, jokers and mothers
Can't get enough of that mind in the gutter
Pushers, preachers fighting for the streets
I'm losing my grip and sliding down to the end of my rope

Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope, that's right

I'm the high wire act with the circus in town
There ain't any net if I hit the ground
But they wouldn't mind a bit if I took a fall, no they won't

Well it's a ruthless world with a painted face
Ain't nothin' gonna change but the time and place
So you better watch your back in the mirror on the wall

Winners and losers, beggars and choosers
Talkers, doers lost in illusion
Lawyers, villains, hometown killings
It's all the same to me down at the end of my rope

Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah-yeah!

Big fat lies and second hand news
Pocket full of change, ain't got nothin' to lose
And this old hat don't fit me anymore, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope

Well lord, I'm losing hope
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah-yeah
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my'¦
Down at the end of my rope
