Lyrics
Nights get cold down underneath this
Dirty fetid bridge that I'm living
Destitute son, orphan child, sown in
The seeds of life's work unforgiven
A pint of rock-cut old whiskey is all that I need
To get me through this trail of tears
That I follow as I beg, steal, and borrow
Every night, every night I pray to be somebody else
Look at me, look at me (look at me, look at me)
I'm on the bottom of the world
Can't you see, don't you see me? (can't you see, don't you see me?)
Here on the bottom of the world
Once upon a time I had more than a lion's share of worldly riches
Imprisoned by my selfish heart, slept
In subways, broken glass, and ditches
Yes I did
I've been a pauper, I've been a freak
A love-starved gypsy without any relief in sight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Alone and starving, I shiver to the bone
As the passers-by walk on, yeah!
Look at me, look at me (look at me, look at me)
I'm on the bottom of the world
Can't you see, can't you see me? (can't you see, can't you see me?)
Linkin' to the bottom of the world
Forgive me not, saw just fairy tales
Of childhood friends I can hardly remember
They faded from down deep inside blank pages
I've kept hidden in my bible of guilt
My will's been broken but my soul's been cleansed
Of the what-if's and the what-should-have-beens
Gotta lay my recollections down to rest
Before reflection steals the life beating within my chest
