Well I'm going through the motions

Seems it happens every night of every week
Well it's an ever running cycle

And the chance of breakin out of it seems weak

Messing up the way the blood goes through my veins

There's a trail of blood that trickles down from Denver to the sea

Well there's this busy little corner

Half a mile down the road from where I live

Work the sidewalk for a little take and give

When he gets off from work
He asks for Georgia cuz she's special,

So if you're led into a wasteland or made to stumble through the dark
