Tragically Hip - Trickle Down lyrics

rate me

Old lion's dying, got left behind

Cut your teeth, lose your meat

And man it's just a matter of time

Key's to the cuffs, you might be king

That's it, that's all, that's everything

Skeletons come here to dance

Where barrooms beat their brothers

Into a bloody trance

What's the deal? What did I do?

Who cops all the cops is all I asked of you

Chorus

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down

Something's up, taking time to get around

Ballyhoo, all the drinks are on the crown

It's just a matter of a trickle down

Twenty miles before the crash

That's the style for a while

And man I think it's gonna last

"Hit the brakes" is all you can say

Conductor says we'll save them

For another rainy day

Chorus
