The Trap Door

Your enemy's guard cornered you in a yard

You paid him off and ran

You knew what he'd understand

He's just a working man

But you think he's a fool

Just a capitalist tool

Who plays the games of life to tie

If the tables had been turned tonight

There'd be nothing that his money could buy

But soon the trap door gives in

Under the wicked weight of sin

You fall down down down

Further than you've ever been

Yeah the trap door falls open

Just as you were smugly hoping

That you could cheat and win

The trap door falls in

So one escape does not a life make

The earth floats under your feet

You can't trust who you meet

Your bravery's a conceit

It's no longer suspense

It's a fear that makes sense

Pulling you through the ground

The trap door makes no sound

One day you're just not around

'Cause the trap door gives in

Under the wicked weight of sin

You fall down down down

Further than you've ever been

Yeah the trap door falls open

Just as you were smugly hoping

That you could cheat and win

The trap door falls in

I should have known when I was struck with a stone

That you were aiming at the moon

That like a gas balloon

You'd come falling soon

Yeah-eh

Yeah the trap door gives in

Under the wicked weight of sin

You fall down down down

Further than you've ever been

Yeah the trap door falls open

Just as you were smugly hoping

That you could cheat and win

The trap door falls in

That you could cheat and win

The trap door falls in
