<b>100 Ft</b> by <i>The Rum Drunks</i><br />

The shiny ring that slipped away

A rusted chair had seen it's day

The echo of a thousand rants

The remnants of a potted plant

A child who eats his food alone

A ringing phone and no one's home

A photo from the Internet

A G.I. Joe, a cigarette

The glad you made it out alive

A picture frame, some 45's

A drunken sleep that void of dreams

Explained to me and so it seems

A leather boot, a dusted wink

The gin is stirred; the bracelets clink

And when your finally satisfied

You pour the whole thing down the sink

It eddies down the drain below

Through the pipes under the floor

It travels southward in a ditch

The refuse of the poor and rich

And even though you can't decide

To tell the truth, you tell a lie

I swear that you don't want to know

What's down a hundred feet below

I swear that you don't want to know

I knew a man who felt alone

His soul was searched for love and found

That all the money in the world

Could not buy happiness deserved

And when he finally realized

To himself he could not recognize

He groped for darkness for the soul

He found he could not grab a hold

It eddied slowly down the drain

Through the pipes out in the rain

It traveled southward in a ditch

The refuse of the poor and rich

And when he finally realized

His tears had many times been cried

You don't really want to know

What's down a hundred feet below
