David + David - Swallowed By The Cracks Lyrics
I once was a dancer, I was young once like youThough I know I don't look itJumped high as the sky, had fire in my eyesHad legs like a stallionAnd I had a girl and I loved herMy best friend was her brotherWe were on top of the mountain that summerBut we'd never be swallowed by the cracksFallen so far downLike the rest of those clowns begging bus fare backSwallowed by the cracksOur pride worn down talking times gone byLike everybody else swallowed by the cracksWe would never be swallowed by the cracksWe would talk through the night about what we would doIf we just could get started, I would choreographEileen she would act while Steve was a writerThen Stevie ran away and get boredEileen took a job in a storeMe, I became this drunken old whore'Cause you see we'd be swallowed by the cracksFallen so far downLike the rest of those clowns begging bus fare backSwallowed by the cracks our pride worn downTalking times gone by like everybody elseSwallowed by the cracks, swallowed by the cracksYou see we'd be swallowed by the cracksMaybe it ain't over I can see it's up to meYou only out when you stay out you stay out when you don'tBelieve we could drive around in circles getting nowhereAll night long getting drunk with strangers telling liesAnd singing along with the jukebox babySwallowed by the cracks
