The Downside Of Being A Fuck-up
- from the 2006 album Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby

There's a down where I go that's further down
Than down in the dumps or down on the ground
Or down amongst the wines and spirits
Where each consequence is a consequence
And I can never relate and there's never any end
And there'll be no peace until I take this thing out and kill it
I wanna be big about this
I cannot stand to see your pain
Watching you feed it through your imbecilic face
I've been there and I know that game
It's the downside of being a fuck-up

In a deep dark hole labelled Monsters From The Deep
Don't open this
'till Christmas Day -
Something for the celebration
I've been you been watching me
Up your monkey puzzle tree
Outrage piled on abberation
I wanna be big about this
I cannot stand to see your pain
Watching you feed it through your imbecilic face
I've been there and I know that game
It's the downside of being a fuck-up

It's the downside the downside the downside the downside
The downside
of being a fuck-up
