Texty: Railroad Earth. Bread And Water.

hard lessons for my meal last night
cold cruelty on my plate
a faithful heart & years on the side
it's goin' down with a bitter taste

it's goin' down . . it's goin' down
goin' down like bread & water
can you hear? can you hear?
can you hear me when i cry?

no comfort in my bed last night
old man trouble on my head
same old singer . . brand new song
same old story . . brand new friend

it's goin' down . . it's goin' down
goin' down like bread & water
can you hear? can you hear?
can you hear me when i cry?

oh the lion . . oh the lion
oh the lion . . help me lord!
can't you hear me? can't you hear me?
can't you hear me callina?˜ out?

hard numbers were my bread last night
hard travelin' on my slate
it's gettin' hard to send it off
oh my friend take a look at my plate

it's goin' down . . it's goin' down
goin' down like bread & water
can you hear? can you hear?
can you hear me when i cry?

oh the lion . . oh the lion
oh the lion . . help me lord!
can you hear me? can you hear me?
can you hear me callina?˜ out?
oh the lion!
