Well along in the 21st hour when the whole damn grid goes down

This is how a party gets started in for a penny â?? in for a pound

One fool among fools is wondering what happens if I die too late?
F/A G7 F/A G7
Get back with your dimestore nihilism Big Daddyâ??s on a glory run
F/A G7 C C/Db
Gettinâ?? down on the cellular level just in case I got to call someone
Dm C Bdim Am
Darkling down â?? on a darkling plain
Am G Am G
In the dim dank night of the pissinâ??-down rain
Dm C Bdim Am
Darkling down â?? on the balls of his ass
Am G Am G
While he prays and waits for the storm to pass

Lemme show you where the good thing happens itâ??s a barbershop in Inglewood
Too bad we wonâ??t get past the bouncer sadly Iâ??ve been banned for good
Thereâ??s a coffee shop right â??round the corner the proprietor knows my name
Cup of joe and a Vicks inhaler now youâ??re ready for the big boy game
Steady son come seven come eleven, if either one of us can count that high
Muscatel if the deal gets dicey, milk and honey in the by and by
Darkling down â?? itâ??s a damn disgrace
Going round and round in a very small place
Darkling down â?? with a hole in his soul
That he canâ??t explain and he canâ??t control

Listen, friend, this is no damn picnic but letâ??s imagine for a minute that it was
Asus4 A7 Asus4 A7
Who will feast on this buzzardâ??s banquet? Who will render my heroic bust?
Asus4 A7 Asus4 A7
Who will choke on my lachrymose musings? Who will eat my zero dust?
F/A G7 F/A G7
Who will wear this puke-streaked tunic? Who shall gorge on this cup of spleen?
F/A G7 C C/Db
Who will sing about the good bad and ugly? And all and everything in between?
Darkling down â?? this is godâ??s good man
On his hands and knees livinâ?? godâ??s good plan
Darkling down â?? and we donâ??t know still
When heâ??ll come around if he ever will
Darkling down â?? on a zero-G dive
And we just canâ??t say will the fool survive
Darkling down â?? in a seven-G turn
Glowing like a coal in the afterburn
