Impossible to be looking down from the bottom

So we're staring at the top

Drop of water, just a drop

Might fall from the leaking roofs, catch it before it's lost

Or from a broken gutter, still better than what we got

Down here just something to moisten the lips

Maybe wet the tongue

Enough to shout out whats wrong

 

The smog in the atmosphere

If I had three wishes I'd give up two

For one breath of fresh air

 

Sit in the mud

Wallowing til it drys

The drops coming from my eyes

Ought to call them the sky

But it's not rain

That turns the dirt back to mud

To wallow in

Re-dirty up my duds

When I fall again

The days drag on

And the cycle repeats to no end
