Down & Out

from Mike & Eileen Chapter One by Mike Roy

/

lyrics

Dec. 6, 2004


Broken, but not all the way
Holding on by a thread
Hanging on for dear life
to a branch that’s falling away

waiting for a sign.


Hoping, even begun to pray
Bowing your head down to the ground
Hearing things that seem real
until they drift away

leaving that empty hallowed sound…


Pound… Pound… Pound… Pound.



My dear we’ve been all through this
You just want things your way
No surprises here, I want ‘em mine
And we’ll go down tussling all the way
with the ship we’re sinking on


Down… Down… Down… Down.



I could kiss your lips
or break your face
Brush your hair back from your eyes
or pull it out
I can be your angel and your demon on the same day
Baby there’s only one way out…


Out… Out… Out… Out.
