Shadow face
Blowing smoke and talking wind
Lost my grip
Fell too far to start again
A sudden snake
Found my shape and tells the world
Remember this
Remember everything is just black
Or burning sun

And I hope it's a sweet ride
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me I'm gone

Warm and sweet
Swinging from a windows ledge
Tight and deep
One last sin before I'm dead
A sucking holy wind
Will take me from this bed tonight
And bloody wits
Another hits me and I have to say goodbye

And I hope it's a sweet ride
Here for me tonight
'Cause I feel I'm going
Feel I'm slowing down

    Sorry genius, but this is off of Down on the Upside, not Superunknown.
    I can see some of the drug references, but it seems a little bit of a stretch to me. I'm hearing a song about regret, whether it be caused by looking Death in the face or just physical leaving. Either way it's an incredibly moving song. Probably my favorite Soundgarden song of all.
