Caught in a Mess

from Shade of the Trees

Caught in a mess, must confess
Caught in a mess with you
I gave my best, and now there's nothin' left
There's nothing more to do

Your lucky number lost appeal
No more magic charm
The very power you used to heal can harm

All we had, it makes me sad
Our good times are a curse
I called you Tuesday when the sky went black
Time to reassess
You hit the bottom when the market crashed, I guess

The Great Depression inspired a New Deal
I need a new one now
A reconstruction of the way we feel somehow

Caught in a mess, sinkin' fast
Goin' all the way down with you
I gave my best, and now there's nothin' left
And there's nothing more to do
Caught in a mess with you
Caught in a mess with you
