My job's gone missing

Insurance is a fail

Credit cards stopped coming

My attorney's in jail

Just broke a law

I never heard of before

Landlord thinks I'm made

So he bust down my door

Used to think

I was pretty damn smart

Smart enough to see

I'm falling apart

I keep going down, down, down

It's all coming down on me

My little bit of self esteem

Has gone up in flames

Teenagers getting wealthy

Playing video games

The local beat cop

Keeps giving me that look

Don't even know

What drugs I just took

The more I run

The more I end up where I start

Stuck in the same place

Tearing myself apart

I keep going down, down, down

It's all coming down on me

I remember back in Waikiki

Doing the Limbo by the sea

How low can you go?

The cabana boys teased

Now I'm down on my knees

Can't keep this up

But I hear it's worse to stop

If I dry out lay me to rest

At the corner coffeeshop

I don't feel brave

And I don't feel free

My only chance at winning

Is in the lottery

Used to see myself above it

Set myself apart

Now I'm stealing mini-vodkas

Rom the Mighty Mart

I keep going down, down

It's all coming down on me
