Swallowed By The Cracks Lyrics

I once was a dancer, I was young once like you
Though I know I don't like it, jumped high as the sky
Had fire in my eyes and legs like a stallion
And I had a girl and I loved her

My best friend was her brother
We were on top of the mountain that summer
Thought we'd never be swallowed by the cracks

Fallen so far down
Like the rest of those clowns begging bus fare back
Swallowed by the cracks

Our pride worn down talking times gone by
Like everybody else swallowed by the cracks
We would never be swallowed by the cracks

We would talk through the night about what we would do
If we just could get started, I would choreograph
Eileen she would act while Steve was a writer

Then Stevie ran away and get bored
Eileen took a job in a store
Me, I became this drunken old whore
'Cause you see we'd be swallowed by the cracks

Fallen so far down
Like the rest of those clowns begging bus fare back
Swallowed by the cracks our pride worn down

Talking times gone by like everybody else
Swallowed by the cracks, swallowed by the cracks
You see we'd be swallowed by the cracks

Maybe it ain't over I can see it's up to me
You only out when you stay out you stay out when you don't
Believe we could drive around in circles getting nowhere

All night long getting drunk with strangers telling lies
And singing along with the jukebox baby
Swallowed by the cracks
