Jesse Malin - Downliner lyrics

rate me

That's the way you know the story goes<br />

Between euphoria and the afterglow<br />

I don't believe in what the good book says<br />

I close my eyes and then I go to bed<br />

<br />

With funny memories and a broken nose<br />

Lots of baggage and not much clothes<br />

The shrink the gypsy the poet the priest<br />

Everybody wants to be released<br />

<br />

And I know time was gonna change us<br />

So slow life would rearrange us<br />

<br />

Lately it's alright<br />

Down here with me<br />

People at midnight pretend their free<br />

Maybe it's all gone<br />

I'm holding on<br />

<br />

Ooh it ain't so funny after all<br />

Ooh it ain't so funny after all we've been through<br />

Ooh it ain't so funny after all<br />

<br />

That's the way you know the story goes<br />

A box of flowers decompose<br />

And you and me you know we don't talk much<br />

It's hard to handle something you can't touch<br />

<br />

And I know time was gonna change us<br />

<br />

Lately it's alright<br />

Down here with me<br />

People at midnight pretend their free<br />

Maybe it's all gone<br />

I'm holding on<br />

<br />

How was I to know<br />

The future's black as coal?<br />

How was I to see if you were still with me?<br />

<br />

Downliner<br />

Down to the sea<br />

Downliner<br />

Down here with me<br />

Downliner, etc.
