Lyrics The Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip

Trickle Down

Old lion's dying, got left behind

Cut your teeth, lose your meat, and, man, it's just a matter of time

Key's to the cuffs, you might be king

That's it, that's all, that's everything

Skeletons come here to dance

Where barrooms beat their brothers into a bloody trance

What's the deal? What did I do?

Who cops all the cops is all I asked of you

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down

Something's up, taking time to get around

Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown

It's just a matter of the trickle down

Twenty miles before the crash

That's the style, for a while, and, man, I think it's going to last

"Hit the breaks," is all you can say

Conductor says we'll save them for another rainy day

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down

Something's up, taking time to get around

Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown

It's just a matter of the trickle down

Old lion's dying, got left behind

Cut your teeth, lose your meat, and, man, it's just a matter of time

Key's to the cuffs, you might be king

That's it, that's all, that's everything

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down

Something's up, taking time to get around

Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown

It's just a matter of the trickle down

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down

Something's up, taking time to get around

Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown

It's just a matter of the trickle down

It's just a matter of the trickle down

It's just a matter of the trickle down
