lyrics

V1
The body was strong tho' the soul was forgotten
The words fit the song tho' the writer was rotten
Like leaves falling down by the river in autumn
They die tho' the trees think of spring

Ch
I might as well be down and out
For I am the leaves and you are the trees
I might as well be down and out
You're standing so tall I fall to my knees

V2
Like David you said I was perfectly made
But from flesh instead as we illicitly laid
Now that love is dead and the toll has been paid
To Charon in the form of your ring

Ch
I might as well be down and out
For I am the toll and you are the boat
I might as well be down and out
Each time I read the letters you wrote

V3
The garment smells low tho' the tapestry's kind
If your nose didn't know you'd care not to go blind
In your field the crow has most solemnly dined
On crops grown from the corpse of a king

Ch
I might as well be down and out
For I am the corpse and you are the crow
I might as well be down and out
You're flying so high I'm lying so low

V4
Now I would say more if sleep didn't call
But the waves hit the shore and the sand it must fall
Beneath the sea tho' a chore is made of it all
By a clam with a pearl to bring

Ch
I might as well be down and out
For I am the sand and you are the pearl
I might as well be down and out
