Rock Bottom - Pascale Picard

It was four in the morning when he knocked on my door

«I'm sorry to wake you up, I was about to pass by your porch

But then I saw the light

It’s my first visit here, could you show me around?

I’ve always feared the city and I’m terrified to face it before the dawn»

I feel you my friend, one never chooses to come to Rock Bottom

So John and I left the house for some action

And when we got on the main street

I was about to pass by Ol' William

But John asked me to pull over

He said, «If I was him I’d like someone to stop»

So we stopped

Old Dirty William asked for a couple of bucks:

«Sorry lad it ain’t been my year,»

He said, «I'd trade one of your worst days for one of my best, anytime»

«Well, we’re not gonna fight over who’s the most miserable

Jump in the car»

And just when I think we’ve hit Rock Bottom

We ain’t seen nothing yet

The Three Musketeers wandering around

Passed you in your bright skinny dress on the side of the road

Waiting for a miracle

I called out to you that we’re all in the same boat

Brothers in pain and sisters in misery

Hoping salvation is out there beyond the yellow brick road

But just when we thought we were out of Rock Bottom

It might have only been the eye of the storm

Up there someone’s laughing their ass off

«Go ahead, make plans, and keep raging when they blow up in smoke

As if you’ve got it all under control»

And don’t forget to stop by our gift shop

But if you’ve learned nothing from it now

Well we’ll see you again soon

'Cause no matter where you are, you’re two steps from Rock Bottom
