I thought I heard you raking the coals

Underneath a lonely man's soles

Why can't you just let it all go

Then I start to go down



I heard him say life is a joke

His words burned like acidrain smoke

Why can't you love what you don't know

Then I start to go



Down, down, down

Way too low

I start to go down, down, down

You can't pull up anymore

Once you go down



I thought you said, what is it's worth

You just get pain for all your life's work

I'll just crawl into my black hole

Then I start to go



Down, down, down

Way too low

I start to go down, down, down

I can't pull up anymore



My Superman's all covered in rust

All of my dreams gone bust

This time I've fallen down

I'm stuck in this rut

Maybe I'll try falling up

'Cause I've fallen far enough

I start to go



Down, down, down

Way too low

I start to go down, down, down

I can't pull up anymore

I start to go down, down, down

You can't pull up anymore

Once you've gone down
