The Del Lords - Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

The sky is dark, the snow is falling
Gotta find somewhere that's warm and bright
Down in the subway station
500 seeking shelter from the night

Say a prayer for the forgotten
Say a prayer for you and me
There are homeless in our city
None of us are free
None of us are free

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When nowhere else will take you
These streets they must
In nothing we believe in
In no one we trust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Now, the world don’t owe no living
Just a chance for a decent life
And if we can’t help everybody
Well, don’t we still have to try

Say a prayer for the forgotten
Say a prayer for you and me
There are homeless in our city
None of us are free
None of us are free

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When nowhere else will take you
These streets they must
In nothing we believe in
In no one we trust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

You gotta be rich to be sick
Man, it’s catch-22
When you got no friends or family
Man, there’s nothing you can do

Cause someone’s gotta pay
For a hospital bed
And it costs a king’s ransom
I’d have been better off dead

My life fell like dominoes
My job and then my home
By the time I was well
There was nowhere I could go

No place to call home
Just one place I could go

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When nowhere else will take you
These streets they must
In nothing we believe in
In no one we trust
Hey, I once held the brass ring
But it crumbled to my touch

I once held the brass ring
But it crumbled to my touch
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
