Keep going up and down, up and down
Don't be scared of nothin'
This little world's too crowded now
You bring peace to midnight
And there's only one way out
Like some washed up actress
Like a heavy crown
You're here every morning
Let me down slow
Fair child, fair child
And I'm not pretending
Did your faithful chauffeur
You just point 'em out to me
If somebody sweats you
Milk thistle, milk thistle
Lazarus, Lazarus
Like a spotted owl
Like my favorite team
Help me go slow
I keep death on my mind
And I'm no where bound
I'll be rootin' for you
All the sights and sounds
And I'm no where bound
Just let me have my coffee
If I go to heaven
I'd come pick you up
Just help me go slow
This little world's too fragile now
Can't take no more
Just say when you've had enough
In a Tinseltown
Why all the tears?
You go pound for pound
I'll be bored as hell
That it's all okay
I was poised for greatness
Like an Allen sky
All the light and sound
And there's only one way out
I keep death at my heels
Make me blue forever
I've been hurrying on
I've been carryin' on
Did you start that band?
But for the record
I'll go pound for pound
And you stab my eyes
I'm not scared of nothin'
I'll be bored as hell
At the bottom of a well
Before you take away the day
We'll head for the ocean
But if you let me slide
Waitin' at my door
To be just waitin' 'round
Like a basset hound
If I go to heaven
Like a little baby
Did you fix that storefront?
What a lonesome feeling
I'm just tryin' to kiss you
I was down and out
Like a crying baby
Newspaper, newspaper
Just disappear?
Jus' going up and down, up and down
Through the tunnel towards the light
I'll do my best to make things right
At the bottom of a well
An elevator ride
How are you man?
