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
