It All Trickles Down

There's a dragon-tail swishing behind tonight

Poison's rising. I'm up too tight

I might not be responsible

For the things that I might do

My tanks are full and my dogs are loose

Bees in my bonnet. Stew in juice

Sauté-simmer, shallow-fry

When it all trickles down to you

It all trickles down

Yes it all trickles down

Well it all trickles down

From me to you

My day was rough, don't care about yours

I put muddy feet on your polished floor

A goose to cook, a job that I'm

Well qualified to do

And it all trickles down

Yes it all trickles down

Well it all trickles down

From me to you

Would be the one, would be the tea on toast

Would be the Son, would be the Holy Ghost

If this is not believable

Then you've just had one too few

Would be the mad Jack to your Queen of Spades

A little Mac in your burger trade

One dead-cert consequence --

It all trickles down to you

And it all trickles down

Yes it all trickles down

Well it all trickles down

From me to you

There's a dragon-tail swishing behind tonight

Poison's rising. I'm up too tight

I might not be responsible

For the things that I might do

My tanks are full and my dogs are loose

Bees in my bonnet. Stew in juice

Sauté-simmer, shallow-fry

When it all trickles down to you

It all trickles down

Yes it all trickles down

Well it all trickles down

From me to you
