writing on the wall
© 2003 Greg Bartlett/ASCAP

They took the wallet from my pocket
Took the money from my game
Took my watch & planned to hock it
Where were you when they jumped my train?
Dumped me out in the pouring rain

You can choose to manufacture poison
Strip a man of everything
What they did, they found joy in sin
Where were you when they trashed my name?
Set my future up in flames

With the debt called in
A line gets drawn
In the sand beneath your feet
It burns a hole right through the heart
Before the cut begins to bleed
It goes around & it comes around
In the dark I scream
I don’t get no comfort

She don’t know me
Or understand me
She don’t love me
I sit here in the silence
Too damn close to the writing on the wall

It is lewd, lascivious
A true narcotic sort of pain
All the while, she sits oblivious
Where were you when they pumped my vein?
Shot me up down on Main

With the debt called in
A line gets drawn
In the sand beneath your feet
It burns a hole right through the heart
Before the cut begins to bleed
It goes around & it comes around
In the dark I scream
I don’t get no comfort

She disowned me
She defied me
Left me lonely & denied me
She don’t know me
Or understand me
She don’t love me
I sit here in the silence
Too damn close to the writing on the wall
