I'm Down (Beck cover) Lyrics
I'm down, I'm down and this town is a nuisance
It'll put your backbone all in a ruin
And with the area code of a truant
I'm fluent in the hazards of love, yeah listen
I fed a warrant to a billy goat
I fixed the spelling on a suicide note
A get-well card from the holy ghost
To a beggar who smells like a rose
I'm down, I'm down and I feel like a loner
There's a skyscraper city below her
I wanna feed my heart to a cobra
'Cause nothing ever happens to me
Alright, like a blessing disguised as a curse
Like a sermon that's run out of words
Like a cage that can't keep any birds
I can't keep my arms around you
I'm down
I'm down, I'm down and this town is a backdrop
A back road over a roadblock
With a debutante in a tank top
Who's teaching me how to be free
Like a prayer in a personal ad
Like a knife in a broken back
Learn to love what you can't get rid of
Before it gets rid of you
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
It'll put your backbone all in a ruin
And with the area code of a truant
I'm fluent in the hazards of love, yeah listen
I fixed the spelling on a suicide note
A get-well card from the holy ghost
To a beggar who smells like a rose
There's a skyscraper city below her
I wanna feed my heart to a cobra
'Cause nothing ever happens to me
Like a sermon that's run out of words
Like a cage that can't keep any birds
I can't keep my arms around you
I'm down
A back road over a roadblock
With a debutante in a tank top
Who's teaching me how to be free
Like a knife in a broken back
Learn to love what you can't get rid of
Before it gets rid of you
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
