(smith)      once was a man who didn't do too well   he spent more than a little time down in his little hell   he had time to decide even if it was worth the ride      he started early on before it was cool    to take the risk on of dealin' in the high school   never mind that a line wasn't much more than a good time      yeah de yeah      carefree and careful as a man could be   what are the risks of burnin' hot if you can't even see   that the ore's run aground sinking in to the shore      careful and conscious of the burning red   of the flashing lights and the feeling of dread   captured in everything in this dragging little moment      yeah de yeah      inevitably in a little hell   immeasurably in a little hell   character breathes with a little hell      run out of thoughts and possibilities   it ain't only the man with no eyes who can't see   you back up, up a day, coulda wrote, wrote it all...   you back up, in a daze, shoulda wrote, wrote it all down      yeah de yeah
