The Trap Door - Jules Shear

The Trap Door - Jules Shear
Lyricist：Jules Shear
Composer：Jules Shear
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
