One Rung Lyrics

One Rung lyrics

Now, it's three a.m.

And the walls are closin' in

I can hear them whisper, "That fool

He's done it again"



The air has turned cold

But I can't reach my window

So I lay here twisted and I

Pray for the dreams to flow



Another day done

Plenty of work, no fun

And in a bottle or a T.V. dinner

Solace comes



One bad day leads to more

Like the one drink that you pour

And becomes a lifetime of hopes

And dreams ignored



I never made any specific plans

I'd always said you knew

I was just a simple man

And I never made any deals with you

I didn't know I needed to



You spend your whole life

Waitin' for somethin' to change

Somethin' or someone

To come around and rearrange



You spend your whole damn life

Tryin' to climb just one rung

With nothin' to do

If it doesn't come



Now, it's three a.m.

And the walls are closin' in

I can hear them whisper, "That fool

He's done it again"



The air has turned cold

But I can't reach my window

So I lay here twisted and I

Pray for the dreams to flow

I lay here twisted and I

Pray for the dreams to flow
