DOWN TO THE FILTER

(G. Thomas)  1978

 
You ain't got no money
You pawned your guitar
And things don't look funny
From where you are
Crunchy peanut butter
On an English muffin
You're down to the filter
And you're not bluffing
Down to the filter
Puffin' puffin' away

My nerves are gettin' stretched out
Like a rubber band
And I gotta write another check out
To Uncle Sam
You see I owe some back taxes
Says my C.P.A.
Well all these debts are piling up
And they just won't go away
Puffin' puffin' away
Well I'm down to the filter
Puffin' puffin' away

Get me a Saki bomb
In a Guiness glass
Cause I think I'm gonna install a whole new past
Maybe make myself an author
Or a college whiz kid
Anything other than bein'
At the bottom of the show-biz kid
I'm down to the filter
And I'm puffin', puffin' puffin' away
I'm down to the filter
And I'm puffin', puffin' away
