Lyrics

Standing by the Wall

You started out as an equal among them
And then they left you the weakest of all ten
You took the worst of the hits as they passed by
I’ll take the dirt and the spit and wash their eyes

Oh the days, whip you ‘round
Oh the days, stomach growls
Oh the days, you’re glass in halls
Oh the days spent, standing by the wall

You should have married the one who adored you
Instead you’re sleeping with what can afford you
And now the curtain is up, you’re at act five
“I drank the poison so why am I alive?”

Oh the days, whip you round’
Oh the days, stomach growls
Oh the days, you’re glass in halls
Oh the days spent, standing by the wall

At last the sun and the softness of spring rain
The waters rose till they emptied out the banks
The tourists come with the weather come mid-May
So much to learn ‘bout the softness of spring rain

Oh the days, whip you round’
Oh the days, stomach growls
Oh the days, you’re glass in halls
Oh the days spent, standing by the wall
