One Way Street Lyrics

Cover art for One Way Street lyrics by Mark Lanegan

As some people have already said, I agree that this song about temptations and self destructive habits. I'm pretty sure I can explain the line '"Cant get it down without crying" I see that as a reference to self destructive sexual habits - In a world full of temptations you cant get it down without crying - He's talking about his dick.

So is crying a really melodramatic way of saying he forces an orgasm just to stop his hard on?
