Chevelle - Face to the Floor

(I was just thinking...)

To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot
Fiddle inside your drawers
If we own the night, then spread it out
Or pack up without a clue

Well, caused by their own
Win by default
Time to vamanos

Like your face getting forced to the floor

Then I got a taste of the benefits
Five foot and change
There's no better way to hash it out
So let's set up your time to fail

Well, cause now the cracks
Should we intervene?
I hold this albatross

Like your face getting forced to the floor
When either way, you're way too close to it all

Pay up, never wait 'em out
Clever, Madoff, take it all
Take it all

Your
Mouth
Blessed

Take it all the way... Right back down

Clueless
Mess

Pay up, never take it all
Take it all

Like your face getting forced to the floor
In a league of your own,
And either way you're way too close to it all
You cannot veto the world
Like your face (like your face) getting forced (getting forced) to the floor
In a league of your own,
And either way (either way), you're way too close to it all

Too close to it all

The The Face to The Floor Songfacts reports that Pete Loeffler wrote the lyrics while watching a documentary on the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. The program explained how it worked, how many people he stole from and for how long he stole. In Winter 2011-12, the song spent 12 weeks on top of the Mainstream Rock chart.
