"circle the drain" lyrics

The Soul-dog ain't much longer now
He's circling the drain again
If the past keeps letting you down
It took your whole life to figure it out

If the ground splits and swallows you whole
It smells of pinewood and motor oil
Let the smoke from the brush fires guide you
And maybe you'll learn how to let things go

The Soul-House ain't much longer now
It's overgrown and derelict
Threading needles trying to figure it out
It took everything in me not to let you down
It took everything in me not to let you down

Maybe you'll learn how to rest your head
Instead of circling the drain again
Maybe you'll learn how to rest your head
Instead of circling the drain again

Instead of circling the drain again
Instead of circling the drain again
