Downliner

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
