[Verse 1]
You exclaimed your proclamations
But they fell on crowded ears
With everybody clamorin' for contact
And extinction pollinating all their fears
Wasted entertainment
City boy becomes a city rat
There's a moth light on a bottle of ammonia
And we're sellin' tickets just to see how they react

[Chorus]
And you can stand above me lookin' down
But I can see from here, it's just a broken ladder
And I would trade my place with you in hell
'Cause I can say for sure, it doesn't even matter
And you can stand above mе lookin' down
But I can see from here, it's just a broken laddеr
And I would trade my place with you in hell
'Cause I can say for sure, it doesn't even matter

[Verse 2]
You exclaimed your proclamations
Pour another drink
If the cynicism outweighs the pollution
Then it always feels encouragin' to sink
Patterns are contagions
Princesses and crooks
First, we're grazin' in the sunshine
Then we're hangin' by a hook
[Chorus]
And you can stand above me lookin' down
But I can see from here, it's just a broken ladder
And I would trade my place with you in hell
'Cause I can say for sure, it doesn't even matter
You can stand above me lookin' down
But I can see from here, it's just a broken ladder
And I would trade my place with you in hell
'Cause I can say for sure, it doesn't even matter

[Outro]
You can stand above me lookin' down
But I can see from here, it's just a broken ladder
And I would trade my place with you in hell
'Cause I can say for sure, it doesn't even matter
