In case you're wondering it's alive and well
|
That little habit that you left with me
|
Here in the suburbs where it's hard to tell
|
If I got the bear or if the bear got me
|
How did you know that it would take me down
|
Down to the bottom of the wine dark sea
|
Where you were waiting there to bring me 'round
|
Where you knew all the dopest cuts to be
|
|
Drowned at the bottom of your mystery
|
Down in the bottom of the wine dark sea
|
|
Saw your old lady in the park today
|
The legendary smile is wearing thin
|
Behind that guessing game you make her play
|
Now that she knows that she could never win
|
I guess you're never gonna take her down
|
Down to the bottom of your little black heart
|
Lay with her naked on the cool hard ground
|
To watch the sun rise in the dopest part
|
|
Down in the bottom where your lifeline shows
|
Down in the bottom where nobody goes
|
|
Did you loose your way find another
|
Did you make your play or just run for cover
|
Is its safe to say you got burned today?
|
|
I like the feathers and I love the hat
|
I like that little gypsy tune you're humming
|
I guess I'm happy now we've had this chat
|
Oh yeah I'm really glad I saw you coming
|
There in the corner of the eastern sky
|
The tortured angel of your rising sign
|
Darkens the evening with his one good eye
|
An evil omen of the dopest kind
|
|
Down in the bottom where your demons fly
|
Down in the bottom of the eastern sky
|
Down in the bottom where your lifeline shows
|
Down in the bottom where nobody goes
|
Drowned at the bottom of your mystery
|
Down in the bottom of the wine dark sea
|

Down In The Bottom
