Race You Down to the Ground
I was waiting for the rain to end
So I could make a new start
The days were rolling by
Nature took control over the backyard
The changes are piling up
I'm losing control and I'm feeling tense
Smiles and shaking hands
The words I've spoken just don't make sense
I fell out of context
Doing all right on a downhill slide
I'll race you down to the ground
The light of loneliness finds me wherever I hang out
Everything keeps breaking down
And I don't know the reason why
I just try to stay out of the way as the pieces fly
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
There's no escape from the show
Slipping into a dream
I'm out of time and everything gets slow
I'm trying to fool you
But I think you see behind the smoke
I get up to stretch my legs
Walk up to a counter, get myself a coke
I need something to do
Doing all right on a downhill slide
I'll race you down to the ground
The light of loneliness finds me wherever I hang out
Everything keeps breaking down
And I don't know the reason why
I just try to stay out of the way as the pieces fly
So I could make a new start
The days were rolling by
Nature took control over the backyard
The changes are piling up
I'm losing control and I'm feeling tense
Smiles and shaking hands
The words I've spoken just don't make sense
I fell out of context
Doing all right on a downhill slide
I'll race you down to the ground
The light of loneliness finds me wherever I hang out
Everything keeps breaking down
And I don't know the reason why
I just try to stay out of the way as the pieces fly
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
There's no escape from the show
Slipping into a dream
I'm out of time and everything gets slow
I'm trying to fool you
But I think you see behind the smoke
I get up to stretch my legs
Walk up to a counter, get myself a coke
I need something to do
Doing all right on a downhill slide
I'll race you down to the ground
The light of loneliness finds me wherever I hang out
Everything keeps breaking down
And I don't know the reason why
I just try to stay out of the way as the pieces fly
