Down in the Dark Lyrics
Baby, you're goin' down in the dark
Show my lonely night is falling
I don't have very long
I think my blood might boil
Then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better
For a little while
Baby, you're gonna die someday
See you when you're crawlin', wasted
Then you'll start to fade
That won't be so I'm sinkin' faster
I wouldn't wait so long
It won't get any easier in the dark
Oh yeah
You will (5x)
Baby, you're goin' down in the dark
Think my lonely night is falling
I don't have very long
Think my blood might boil
And then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better
For a little while
Oh yeah
You will (10x)
Show my lonely night is falling
I don't have very long
I think my blood might boil
Then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better
For a little while
See you when you're crawlin', wasted
Then you'll start to fade
That won't be so I'm sinkin' faster
I wouldn't wait so long
It won't get any easier in the dark
You will (5x)
Think my lonely night is falling
I don't have very long
Think my blood might boil
And then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better
For a little while
You will (10x)

Kurt Cobain sings in this track! feels good to be the first to comment, way before any spotty nirvana fans finds this.
"Think my blood might boil And then my veins might burn And you're gonna make it better For a little while"
It's most likely about drugs, particularly heroin since they were both addicts when this song was recorded. To me it sounds like a double entendre, meaning it can also be about sex.
Yet another top song from his first solo album THE WINDING SHEET
