Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
In each life a quiet hell
Half a million scripts you can never sell
Out of love and out of luck
Try to look for life in the aqueduct

[Chorus]
It's a short slide down
No caution ever gained in a fetid ground
The breakdowns litter the highway out of town

[Verse 2]
All the stars out in disguise
Look at all money that money buys
Crucial mansion on the hill
When I make my bones, but I never will

[Chorus]
It's a short slide down
No caution ever gained in a fetid ground
The breakdowns litter the highway out of town

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
It's a short slide down
No caution ever gained in a fetid ground
The breakdowns litter the highway out of town

In Ontario there's a light snow falling down

[Outro]
It's a short slide down
It's a short slide down
It's a short slide down
It's a short slide down
