Inauguration day

I'm up to my neck
I'm up to my neck
In the mud of Inauguration day
In the mud of inauguration day

They say it's one in fifty years
They say it's one in fifty years
That storm, that blew my dog away
That storm, that blew my dog away

And they say the road has been washed out
And they say the road has been washed out
From Rockport to Concrete
From rockport to concrete
And all the trees are falling down
And all the trees are falling down
And now, heaven's at my feet
And now, heaven's at my feet

My wishes do my beggin' for me
My wishes do my beggin' for me
And like a beggar they do [learn / laugh]
And like a beggar they do [learn / laugh]

Frozen fingers touch my face
Frozen fingers touch my face
They tie a blindfold 'round my eyes
They tie a blindfold 'round my eyes

And I'm stuck at this roadblock
And i'm stuck at this roadblock
Chasing fog and smoke
Chasing fog and smoke
I guess the price of doing thhat was just
I guess the price of doing thhat was just
Another killing joke
Another killing joke

Wash me down
Wash me down
Wash me down
Wash me down

Sing for me now
Sing for me now
Sing for me now
Sing for me now

Wash me from the hillside
Wash me from the hillside
And wash me from the dirt
And wash me from the dirt
Wash me from your worldly claims
Wash me from your worldly claims
And wash me, wash me from your hurt
And wash me, wash me from your hurt

'Cause I'm up to my neck
'cause i'm up to my neck
In the mud of Inauguration day
In the mud of inauguration day
