lyrics

They drive in from Orinda
They drive back to Orinda
It's not the real job
I always dreamed of

Old loft at Sixth and Reaper
Burn books so gas is cheaper
The guilt fulfills me
It's all so filthy here

Cash first you know the deal, man
Don't tell me 'bout your children
It's just a fraction
Just a transaction

Nothing's broken but all is bent
Their wives don't know they pay my rent
They're going downtown again

It's my sister calling
She got knocked up in Holland
She's 38
It seems a bit late

She bought the stroller and crib
He'll make it just like I did
Strange way for life to start yet
He'll learn just how dark life can get
It's never easy
It's never easy

When my nephew leaves the womb
I'll be seeing clients in hotel rooms
I'm living downtown for life

When our heartbeats finally slow
We know where our souls will go
They're going downtown for good

It happened so suddenly

It's just enough of this
Oh, that's my suffering
I'm not an awful man
I'm not that sorry man
I took it in my hands
Trash bags to cover it
Prints hidden under lye
Like diesel under fire
