Delta - The Rut

★ Intro ★
Come on down
To the rut

★ Chorus ★
Come on down to the rut
Where people sip boredom out a bottomless cup
And life is twice as rough
When you come back for more, even though you had enough
Come on down to the rut
Where people get stuck sippin’ boredom out a bottomless cup
And life is twice as rough
When you come back for more, even though you had enough

★ Verse 1 ★
Two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday
Yet many will remain in the same place anyway
Hell plus Heaven, L plus seven
Self plus brethren, melt then blend in
The one, lust and lackin’ fuss, bust a backspin
Just begun like Jimmy Castor cut sax in
Just imagine your trusted companion
Must abandon you for true love with a madman
This underhanded life take more than one aspirin
Stars die or become has-beens
Function fashion, punks in plastic
One gigantic rut we must relax in
Diligent plannin’ for military cannons
Famines, tangents, man splits the atom
Every single dollar we earn taxed per annum
No wonder this cash has a laxative action

★ Chorus ★
Come on down to the rut
Where people sip boredom out a bottomless cup
And life is twice as rough
When you come back for more, even though you had enough
Come on down to the rut
Where people get stuck sippin’ boredom out a bottomless cup
And life is twice as rough
When you come back for more, even though you had enough

★ Verse 2 ★
The eight runs in circles chasin’ it’s tail
At best movin’ forward at the pace of a snail
Took rope from a crucifix, replaced it with nails
Because hate amongst males is a trait that prevails
Took a taste of ale and faced the rail, then
Dive into a canyon, a stagnant pale
On the way down, I did not look around
And covered both ears to drown out the sound
Saw a sight in a nightgown, hand outstretched, but
No matter how I tried, we could not connect
Landed in a pool of every single tear mother wept over
Birth and life and love and death and
How the hell we get into this mess?
I confess if I knew my pen would be laid to rest
But I don’t, so I keep takin’ baby steps
And use the rut as a source of infinite depth

★ Chorus ★
Now come on down to the rut
Where people get stuck sippin’ boredom out a bottomless cup
And life is twice as rough
When you come back for more, even though you had enough
Come on down to the rut
Where people get stuck sippin’ boredom out a bottomless cup
And life is twice as rough
When you come back for more, even though you had enough

★ Outro ★
That’s the rut
