Quietly Blowing It

What you've done to me
I've done to you
Can you believe it?
Did it run you through?
Like it did to me
It'll do to you
It ain't ever easy
The way that fools do

It was good while it lasted
Crooked and dancing
Up in the hills where
Nobody else dared go
Born on the level
Quietly blowing it

The shape of things
Don't look so good
On the TV there's a riot going on
There's a big pink sun over Hollywood
With no new stars burning

It was good while it lasted
Crooked and dancing
Up in the hills where
Nobody else dared go
Born on the level
Quietly blowing it

It was good while it lasted
But that ain't the answer
You gotta let someone in
That's all that'll save you
Oh, mend the rags
They're trying to freeze us
