Jesse Malin - Downliner Lyrics lyrics

rate me

That's the way you know the story goes

Between euphoria and the afterglow

I don't believe in what the good book says

I close my eyes and then I go to bed

With funny memories and a broken nose

Lots of baggage and not much clothes

The shrink the gypsy the poet the priest

Everybody wants to be released

And I know time was gonna change us

So slow life would rearrange us

Lately it's alright

Down here with me

People at midnight pretend their free

Maybe it's all gone

I'm holding on

Ooh it ain't so funny after all

Ooh it ain't so funny after all we've been through

Ooh it ain't so funny after all

That's the way you know the story goes

A box of flowers decompose

And you and me you know we don't talk much

It's hard to handle something you can't touch

And I know time was gonna change us

Lately it's alright

Down here with me

People at midnight pretend their free

Maybe it's all gone

I'm holding on

How was I to know

The future's black as coal?

How was I to see if you were still with me?

Downliner

Down to the sea

Downliner

Down here with me

Downliner, etc.
