Just Before the Well Goes Dry
M. Shaw Payin' bills on borrowed time Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime and you can't even raise a dime Just before the well goes dry Designer suits, deco tie Corporate car and Calvin Kline One step from the welfare line Just before the well goes dry And what you wear is just a cool disguise And what you need the most you compromise Walkin' down those city streets In wing tip shoes you feel the heat A collar to the snow and sleet Just before the well goes dry Sacrifice it all to play the game People that you know don't know your name Talkin' 'bout your urban blight Stayin' out 'til the early light convince yourself that life is fine Just before the well goes dry Just before the well goes dry Just before the well goes dry |
