Austin's changed it's true, show me what hasn't
Tonight the TV's throwing colors on the wall
As I watch the cities of the world reduced to ashes
From where I sit at the bottom of the world
There used to be a phone booth down here on every corner
You used to call me up just to say my name
But now all anybody gets is a busy signal
No, you can't call home from the bottom of the world
She said, "Hey, newspaper boy, don't
You think it's time you delivered?"
I said, "Say the word, your wish is my command"
She ran me over like an eighteen-wheeler
And dumped my body at the bottom of the world
ย
You may think you know all there is to know about me
You might think the beast is in the cage
But everything you see is just an illusion
It's about to get real at the bottom of the world
Oh, hey little boy, little boy, you look a little frightened
For these aren't the kind of streets for walking alone
So why don't you get yourself on back to Houston?
I don't think you're ready for the bottom of the world
No, I don't think you're ready for the bottom of the world
