"Fantastic Tomb" lyrics

"Fantastic Tomb"

"Hello," he smiled and reached out his hand
"Your troubles," he said, "I can understand"
Ignored by all those pretty-looking people in suits
In a bar on 10th Street, I drank an Deuce

Hey, aren't you sick of the way they look down at you?
It's time you and I collect our dues
There's a man who's worth more than a country could make
And if you come near a good job, I'll give you half the take

Well, should I do it?
It's so tempting, and I've got nothing to lose
If I had something, yeah, they would just take that too
It's okay, yeah, I'll do it

Smiley's big plan, he's a driver for that man
The third-story window on the left, the lock was jammed
It opened, no joke, just like he had planned
So we walked downstairs with bags in our hands

There was crystal vase, oh, good paintings, too
And a silver horse that looked right at you
And in the bedroom, no one sleeping there
Just a big, empty bed covered in fur
Crept our way to the cellar door
Once he'd seen the man, kept gold there before
He told me, "Open it up, let's see where it lies"
But when I did he smiled, then kicked me inside
Locked in the cellar, taken for a ride

But I did it
Feet in the air, then I hit the ground
Seems like these stairs are only good for falling down
But I did it, I did it

What you gonna do when the money's gone
And everyone you know is dead?
Then you're standing naked all alone
Just think about the life you led
Your brain stops following and you gotta choke
And your nasty guitar just broke
But I found words on the wall
I read them-it said:

Get along
Get along
Get along, little dog
Get along

The silver horse in your house
Is dancing all around your bed
When you tell that thing to leave
It kicks ya upside the head
Yeah, you left me here, but I love you
And I'm doing fine on my own
I take a drink from behind the door
And I sing my favorite song

Get along
Get along
Get along, little dog
Get along
Get along
Get along
Get along, little dog
Get along

I'm the one that's smiling now
My painting up on the wall
Me and my Eleanor
In a thousand years
They'll find me here
My fantastic tomb
Fantastic tomb
Come on, see it

Get along
Get along
Get along, little dog
Get along
Get along
Get along
Get along, little dog
Get along, yeah
