Dirt Poor Robins Wasteland
Verse 1
He could never stand up
Till he had to run
Finger on the trigger
Of an empty gun
Look at the mess he's gotten into
No way to dig out no way to pull through
Look at his world, it swirls and spins
He's whirled round on every new wind
Chorus
Out of the Wasteland, into the burning hands
Of another land undiscovered
Out of the prison, into the Lion's den
Oh he goes into the unknown
Verse 2
Well, she was on an upswing
In the spring of life
Dancing on a tight rope
Till he brought the knife
Look at the mess she's gotten into
No way to foresee, no way to undo
Look at the mess he's gotten her in
Her grave was dug before love began
Chorus 2
Out of the Wasteland, into the burning hands
Of another land undiscovered
Out of the prison, into the Lion's den
Oh he goes into the unknown
Bridge
Round and round there's no escape
Upon this tilt-a-whirl
At last he makes a leap of faith
For a nameless girl
Verse 3
You'll never feel the rumble
On the carrousel
Laughing drowns the thunder
On your way to hell
