That's When I'm Coming Through

When everyone has given up on me

  That's when I'm coming through

When dark of night is darkest

  And I'm lost in all the ruckus

That's when I'm coming through

When hope is lost and gallows sure

  When hits come so fast, they're all a blur

That's when I'm coming through

   That's when I'm coming through

Count me out, count me down

   Say I count for nothing

Count me for a fool 

   Count me due to have my roughing

But when your abuse is heaped the highest

  That's when I'm coming through

When your ridicule reaches the ridiculous

  And your scorn becomes a stench

When you've laughed at me your loudest 

  Thrown at me your last wrench

  That's when I'm coming through

That's when I'm coming through

When you say I'm done and through

  That's when I'm coming through
