Lyrics for I Will Let You Down

The cats are in heat The sky is all brown And you need my hand to hold But i will let you down If you bump your bald head on the cold riverbed I'll be next to your guardian angel Watching you drown And i hope your mailmen break you by the billions And if they do not break you May you live to see all your horses jump from buildings And when you wake up all hot and hogtied And you pray your old sail rises May your hound dog enter starving And chew away your two useless prizes And may jesus lay his foot on the back of your head As your seasick one-eyed cow stands laughing With her tail around your neck And when you drown in that river I'll be having a smoke with your guardian angel We'll be making love, telling jokes I will let you down I will let you down I will let you down I will let you down I will let you down I will let you down I will let you down, down I will let you down I will let you down
