But I'm the goal that's gonna weigh you down
Ah, when you're fast it never lasts
Oh, who's got the time? Oh, you'd go blind
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, no
Are taking me down to the other side of town
Oh, and I am not an animal
Are taking me down to the other side of town
She's the jewel in your crown
They just dance naked in the sun all the time
You cannot make me read your tiny mind
With steel blades on the walls of time
Jesus and Mary
Oh, you turn over on that cold shoulder
Don't bring me down
Oh, I'll sign on the dotted line
Don't bring me down
When you call me back, I lie on my back
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Where they don't count the days
Jesus and Mary
Dinner's cold by the time you come over
They just dance naked in the sun all the time
Every time I put the stove on
With steel blades on the walls of time
And you call and you call my name
I cannot read between your lines
Baby, hazy, lazy
Baby, hazy, lazy
Where they don't count the days
I'll keep you around this dirty old town
