Bill Mallonee - Dirty Job lyrics

Ten years gone and a few songs I'm drifting in this place Conclusions drawn in blood They're the hardest to erase Yeah and you could call it fate And say it could be worse But sometimes you've got to wonder If the whole thing was a curse And it's gnawing at you Till the hours they get late And it's there by your side When you awake They used to think bloodletting Could make you well again So I bled some soft And some I bled on ten Till I couldn't separate My bleeding from my health Yeah but most of all as I recall I was just trying to save myself What is the illusion And what can you lean on There's this sword called coming-up-empty That I have fallen upon She's this job description And no one will walk you through it Yeah failure's such a dirty job I don't know if i'm up to it Good night america Wherever we have been And good night to my family Good night to my friends I'm changing my address Until we meet again I'll be checking into a world They call oblivion And the suit Swallows you full But it's the only one they had For me in the window
