At the bottom you set it down
from the top I counted you out
cascading, the end draws near
these rail lines, drown in fear
in the dark days, hunger's free
illumination, end with greed
drag your feet, and strung along
fight back, until you're gone
chorus:
This tunnel vision breaks my mind
dark days leave this world behind
humiliation takes it's toll
proud hope stands tall
from the top I counted you out
cascading, the end draws near
these rail lines, drown in fear
in the dark days, hunger's free
illumination, end with greed
drag your feet, and strung along
fight back, until you're gone
This tunnel vision breaks my mind
dark days leave this world behind
humiliation takes it's toll
proud hope stands tall

When I saw them about a month ago, Jim said "This is a song about our homeless buddies".
"from the top I counted you out " is speaking of their perspective, as opposed to homless people. Makes sense now, but I know I never would've guessed it was about that.
This song is about rice.
I like the homeless idea. I don't see where the name is derived from. I just don't get this at all.
I'm pretty sure the title refers to living out of a Subaru RX. "Coupe" is intentionally spelled wrong probably as a double entendre for "coup d'état."
