Times Like These

With my face all crooked
And my head ringing like a bell
My last hope flipping
Like a coin down a wishing well
My mouth’s full of blood
But my heart’s full of poetry
If I’m downtown bound
Then I swear you’re going with me…

It’s times like these
When I’m on my knees
There ain’t no place that I’d rather be
I find my call
Up against the wall
Breaking two ton stone like prophecy

Keep your back to the mob
Keep your fists up in the ring
Leave the gloves at home
It’s a knuckle duster thing
Your bowels turn to water
At the first blows taste of fear
Like a swinging hammer
And a roar inside your ears

It’s times like these
When I’m on my knees
There ain’t no place that I’d rather be
I find my call
Up against the wall
Breaking two ton stone like prophecy

Sulfur in the air
The Devil’s in the ring
You’re up against the ropes
Keep the elbows in…

Now when your spirit’s broken
And you lost your will to fight
And you’re so down hearted
You don’t know what’s wrong from right
And all your best friends say
You don’t know the mess you’re in
I find a chipped cracked mirror
And I fill it with a grin

It’s Times Like These
