There's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror
Right on top of my right eye
And I can't stop staring back, how did I get this way?
Take a big look at a living lie Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to riches was a bust Sometimes I dream about it what it's like back home
The railroad tracks and the pussy willow
But I had to leave it
Now I go back whenever my tired head hits the pillow Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to riches was a bust, busted once again
Well I'll show them one day that I can buy and sell the world And one day I'll come through my American dream
But it won't mean a *** thing Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
Rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
