Never Gonna Come Back Down Lyrics
feat. M. Doughty
I’m just gonna shout this one
I’m just, uh
gonna gonna gonna gonna say this to the people
not so much the people in the audience
as the people sitting in my mind:
donde esta los digits du DJ Rap?
bring the sound to the people in a white truck
bumping on the road bumps
run into a tree stump
tweeter out the back door
slam into a dirt lot, stopped
with the cable running out the back side
disco necked
and if you had the chance
you wouldn’t even stop denying
go talk to anna hand
go start the multiplying
red
green is like a boom to the what’s dis non
diddy on dawn to the don don diggy dawn
doubt’ll be the fire of your delight
and she’s never gonna come back
down to halve the pop song on the 5
and she’s never gonna come back
down to grab the t-shirt off the line
and she’s never gonna come back
down I think she’s murderously sly
and she’s never gonna come back down
and she’s never gonna come back down
we are here to save the erf:

oh when I woke up and got on the bmt
I saw a boom shudap and that’s fresh to me
and they were scrawling on the window with wiseass keys
and they were driving out the lots in their mercurys
green is like a boom to the what’s dis non
diddy on dawn to the don don diggy dawn
and if you had the chance
you wouldn’t even stop denying
go talk to anna hand
go start the multiplying
doubt’ll be the fire of your delight
and she’s never gonna come back
down to halve the pop song on the 5
and she’s never gonna come back
down to grab the t-shirt off the line
and she’s never gonna come back
down I think she’s murderously sly
and she’s never gonna come back down

I found this online:
Renowned dance producer BT (whose real name is Brian Transeau) has just released his third solo album, "Movement In Still Life," and the first single from the LP, "Never Gonna Come Back Down," has just cracked the Top 50 at alternative radio, according to "R&R."
"Never Gonna Come Back Down" was a collaborative effort between BT and former Soul Coughing frontman M. Doughty. The two recently discussed the colorfully bizarre track, which includes Biblical allusions as well as references to the comely Charissa Saverio--also known as DJ Rap.
"It's just great," Doughty told MTV News. "For 'Never Gonna Come Back Down,' he just picks the mic up and is like, 'All right, get on the mic.' So, whatever, I just went off the top of my head, talkin' about stuff, and [BT] was like, 'OK, do it again.' So, again, off the top of my head, just talkin', and then a third time."
"Then I went downstairs," he continued, "watched a little 'Braveheart,' got my Mel Gibson on, and then I came back upstairs and it was this track. It was the least labor intensive thing I've ever done in music, so I was like, 'I gotta get with this guy.'"
BT also admitted that he was surprised at the ease at which the song and the vocals came together.
"Poor Doughty was like, 'Are you sure you don't want me to do more vocals?'" BT remembered. "I was like, 'No, dude, we got it. We're good, trust me.' It was so cool, because each one of the takes--I mean, we literally [only] did three or four takes--and each one of the takes was about completely dissimilar things."
"On one he was talking about the book of Revelation," BT added. "One he was talking about DJ Rap. So, it was just insanity, and cutting them together actually ended up making sense."
"Well, the whole first take is me going, 'Oh, DJ Rap, you're so good looking. Brian, give me DJ Rap's phone number, now!" Doughty said. "And the second one is like, 'And the seven thunders uttered from the book of life.'"
"So it ends up making sense in some irrational, surreal sort of way," BT interjected.
"And when we say, 'Never Gonna Come Back Down,' we don't mean drugs," Doughty explained. "Oh, no."
"No, I still don't know what he means," BT said, laughing. "He won't tell me. He was like, 'I'm writing this in code. No one will ever understand.'"
"Yeah, like 'Doubt will be the fire,'" Doughty said, referring to some of the song's lyrics. "I was thinking about that. What the f*** does 'Doubt will be fire of your delight' mean?"
"I have no clue," BT answered. "You wrote it, dude."
"That's what they tell me," Doughty concluded.
BT and Doughty have also teamed up for another track, "The Heat And The Hate," that will be featured on Doughty's forthcoming solo album (see "M. Doughty Talks Solo Plans With BT").
As for BT, he is currently gearing up to launch a tour in support of "Movement In Still Life" on July 12 in Orlando...
i have no idea what this song is about.... but what it means to me, is that if you go through life doubting yourself all the time, then you're always gonna be just talking to yourself and not actually having anything to show for your life.
or something. lol
I don't really give a damn about the meaning. lol. It could be the mad ranting of a stoner, and I'd enjoy it. Nothing against stoners, as I am one. Anyway, good song to have sex too. lol.
i agree w/ codeine but this song just brings back awesome memories so... hell yeah
this is just one of those fun songs. I dont' really think there's a meaning except the party vibe to it.
Most of the lyrics of this song are actually from an unreleased Soul Coughing song called "Freelancer." The other ex-members of Soul Coughing tried to sue Doughty over it, but nothing was made of it.
I think this song is about E notice how he mispells earth and I never wanna come back down come on thats how ya feel on it in my belly it was bitter E is very bitter tasting in my mouth it was sweeter refering to it like candy. To me atleast there is no doubt this song is about E.
I'm nearly positive it's "Disconnected" as opposed to "Disco necked." Makes more sense that way.
chariss-uh!
Thats funny.
In an interview with Doughty he was talking about this song. BT told him to start singing about randon stuff, so he did then he went and watched a movie and when he came back BT had made a song out of what he sang.
