Handful of Dust Songtext
von Loudon Wainwright III

You got a car a wife a gal downtown
You got a place to lay your body down
You got money in your pocket
You can eat around the crust
But a man is just a handful of dust
You take the best of everything I got
Then takin′ all still want I don't know what
But you′re a star about to tumble
A balloon about to bust
And a man is just a handful of dust Lovin' livin' ain′t enough
Devil driven graveyard stuff
Highest flyin′ play the clown
Ain't no flyin′ six feet down
No place worth goin' ain′t already been
No sin worth sinnin' ain′t already sinned
You get thunder in your lovin'
And lightnin' in your lust
But a man is just a handful of dust
