Down Below

The couple down below I didn't really know They didn't get along They'd grab what they could throw They would start right after light It would go through half the night Why so, I didn't know But that was half the show The show, the show One day I'm sitting home She was out front in just her robe I thought I caught her eye I wasn't sure The day was going slow So I went down to say "hello" She said she could talk a while but then I'd have to go I'd have to go She had to walk the streets So she could smoke and drink and eat If she didn't have the dough She didn't have a home The drinks began to flow She moved over right up close Then we heard the phone She said, "Shit, you gotta go, he's coming home" That night it woke me up I saw the cherries popping off Somebody'd called a squad I had to know They said he came out of nowhere When he'd found that I'd been there He spread her face around the place and then he run He run and she was done It was down below Down below They were down below They were down below Down below, below It was down below Down below They were down below They were down below Below, below
