Track 7. Downtown

The day begins the way it ends the day before
Tomorrow will be different but today it’s more
He knows that it isn’t right, but he’s just too sick to fight
You’ll never wanna meet another one like him
You see the ugly beauty underneath his skin
He wants to eat of the night
He wants cook it up, with cotton clean enough,
He wants to shoot out the light

I see him downtown, downtown
Everything black tar and brown
He’s falling down town, downtown
Where he won’t ever get up off the ground

And now he’s so high he tires not to fall asleep
And now he’s so low he goes sinking into the deep

The dirty truth is right behind the sweetest lies
It’s come to this he’s chosen that so say goodbye
And Lord I pray for his soul
He’s falling deep down below, there ain’t no coming back
He shakes the casket latch as cries for help as he goes

I see him downtown, downtown
Everything black tar and brown
He’s falling down town, downtown
Where he won’t ever escape shackles of his bleak fate
Where the prison of scars lay their claim

Oh Lord he’s going downtown
Downtown everything black and tar brown
He’s falling downtown
Downtown where he won’t ever get up off the ground
No no he’ll never get up off the ground
He’s going downtown
