Trickle down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
old lion's dying, got left behind
cut your teeth, lose your meat
and man it's just a matter of time
key's to the cuffs, you might be king
that's it, that's all, that's everything
skeletons come here to dance
where barrooms beat their brothers
into a bloody trance
what's the deal? what did I do?
who cops all the cops is all I asked of you
lining up, waiting on the trickle down
something's up, taking time to get around
belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
it's just a matter of trickle down
twenty miles before the crash
that's the style for a while
and man I think it's gonna last
"hit the brakes" is all you can say
conductor says we'll save them
for another rainy day
