The Ike Reilly Assassination
I Will Let You Down
I dreamed I lived in the upper world
In a chemical house with a medicine girl
But I couldn't get it fixed
And I couldn't pay the tax
So I washed it down in gasoline
And dried it with a match, yeah
I will let you down
I will let you down
Every time I can
I will let you down
Came home with the spirits
And I kissed her on the eyes
Wake up, pretty baby
We're gonna party hard tonight
I heard about your birthday, so I brought you home a clown
Yeah
I will let you down
I will let you down
Every time I can
I will let you down
When you need me most
I will not be found
Every time I can
I will let you down
I got a gun, and oh how it shines
I shot it in the city, and I shot it in the pines
I've sucked on its barrel plenty of times
Yeah
I will let you down
I will let you down
Every time I can
I will let you down
In your darkest hour
I will not be found
Every time I can
I will let you down
I dreamed I lived in the upper world
In a chemical house with a medicine girl
But I couldn't get her a fix
And I couldn't pay the tax
So I washed 'em down in gasoline
And dried it with a match, yeah
I will let you down
I will let you down
Every time I can
I will let you down
When you need me most
I will leave my post
Every time I can
I will let you down
I will let you down [x3]
