I paid two bits for two cents
Just to take it too far
And got two timed too much
Just to be left at the bar
And you promised me nothing
And gave me nothing in turn
As you made good on your promise
I felt my pockets burn
Everything’s easy when everything’s free
And everything’s easy when you got nowhere to be
I’ve got me something and I got it bad
But something’s still more than I ever had
I lost all of my money
And lost nothing to prove
I lost my last union card
So I picked up my boot straps to move
When I tripped over my feet
I fell down hard on my face
And tumbled down the mountain
While never feeling out of place
Everything’s easy when everything’s free
And everything’s easy when you got nowhere to be
I’ve got me something and I got it bad
But something’s still more than I ever had
I guess I’ve been cheated
I guess I’ve been wronged
I guess my only belongings
Never felt like they belonged
Maybe there’s a kernel of truth
In a pocket full of twine
When you run between your fingers
And start thinking about time
How everything’s easy when everything’s free
And everything’s easy when you got nowhere to be
I’ve got me something and I got it bad
But something’s still more than I ever had
Something’s pretty good
Something’s pretty bad
But something’s always something
I’m just happy I had

And the water coming down soaked through the shoes on my feet
I wonder what happened to this town
And the shirt on my back won’t keep me warm
I just keep walking through the puddles on the ground
Last winter was bad, last Summer was worse
The days keep coming, we got no time to rehearse
For the world as it is and the world as it stands
What people are calling the “Fall of Man”
And the fires in the sky are blocking out the stars
I just wish I could got out and see the moon
And the ashes falling down cover the streets
Some twisted Christmas miracle in June
Last winter was bad, last Summer was worse
The days keep coming, we got no time to rehearse
For the world as it is and the world as it stands
What people are calling the “Fall of Man”
What did I ever do? I never sold the world
I never gave it up for oil and coal
I ain’t to blame, but I still just want to live
On this planet, even though some bastard stole it’s soul
The ice caps are all gone, the mountains become the coast
And nobody really knows what to do
All our food is gone and all our water tastes like dirt
A whole generation’s got the blues
Last winter was bad, last Summer was worse
The days keep coming, we got no time to rehearse
For the world as it is and the world as it stands
What people are calling the “Fall of Man”

In the Evening, on my walk through the Pines
Through the Pines, in the trails behind Weaver
Behind Weaver and Ramsey, I walked for hours through the Pines
In the Evening, as I walked through the Pines
Through the Pines, I felt the gravel and the sand
On the gravel and sand, through the Pines, I walked for hours
In the Evening, as I walked through the Pines
Through the Pines, I saw the posts and the power lines
The posts and power lines, I saw, as I walked for hours through the Pines
In the Evening, as I walked through the Pines
Through the Pines, I picked up an empty bottle
An empty bottle of wine, as I walked through the Pines for hours
In the Evening, as I walked through the Pines
Through the Pines, I felt the needles fall
Down, in the rain, through the Pines, as I walked for hours
In the Evening, as I walked through the Pines
Through the Pines, I was somewhere far away
Far away from my worries, far away from my pain
As I walked through the Pines for hours
In the Evening, on my walk through the Pines
Through the Pines, I found myself, in the trails behind Weaver
Behind Weaver and Ramsey, my soul still walks
For hours, through the Pines
