Darkling Down Lyrics - Circus Money - Walter Becker

Well, along in the twenty first hour 

When the whole damn grid goes down 

This is how a party gets started 

In for a penny, in for a pound 

All at once the whole joint goes quiet 

And all the wavy lines go straight 

One fool among fools is wondering 

What happens if I die too late? 

Get back with your dime store nihilism 

Big daddy's on a glory run 

Gettin' down on the cellular level 

Just in case I got to call someone 

Darkling down on a darkling plain 

In the dim dank night of the pissin'-down rain 

Darkling down on the balls of his ass 

While he prays and waits for the storm to pass

Lemme show you where the good thing happens 

It's a barbershop in Inglewood 

Too bad we won't get past the bouncer 

Sadly I've been banned for good 

Well, there's a coffee shop right? round the corner 

The proprietor knows my name 

Cup of Joe and a Vicks inhaler 

Now you're ready for the big boy game 

Steady son come seven come eleven 

If either one of us can count that high 

Muscatel if the deal gets dicey 

Milk and honey in the by and by 

Darkling down, it's a damn disgrace 

Going round and round in a very small place 

Darkling down with a hole in his soul 

That he can't explain and he can't control

For the fun or for the money 

For the fuck of it or just because 

Listen friend, this is no damn picnic 

But let's imagine for a minute that it was 

Who will feast on this buzzard's banquet? 

Who will render my heroic bust? 

Who will choke on my lachrymose musings? 

Who will eat my zero dust? 

Who will wear this puke-streaked tunic? 

Who shall gorge on this cup of spleen? 

Who will sing about the good, bad and ugly? 

And all and everything in between? 

Darkling down, this is God's good man 

On his hands and knees livin' God's good plan 

Darkling down and we don't know still 

When he'll come around if he ever will 

Darkling down on a zero-G dive 

And we just can't say will the fool survive 

Darkling down in a seven-G turn 

Glowing like a coal in the after burn
