Standard (EADGBE)

 For his pleasure he sits sweating

 The ghost of a man who now haunts himself

Hear the steady tick of time like a levee

 Holding in his troubled mind

He was proud he was strong

 Now he's counting back the days to what went wrong

A pipe a dream a fearful scream

 All these FBI agents hiding in your pine trees

Lord it is tragic 4x

Burning faster than a fuse lit from both ends

He spirals down At the ready with a list of excuses

 Most of his friends they don't know him now

The family's tired and confused

 He's still trying to make an offer they can't refuse

Is he clean is he free

 Are those FBI agents still hiding in his pine trees?

Lord it is tragic 4x
