Album: Song Reader: Twenty Songs by Beck
I’m Down
I’m Down and this town is a nuisance
It put my backbone all in a ruin
And with the area code of a truant
I’m fluent in the hazards of love
I fed a warrant to a billy goat
I fixed the spelling on a suicide note
a get well card from a holy ghost
To a beggar who smells like a rose
I’m Down
I’m Down and I fell like a loner
There’s a skyscraper city below her
I wanna feed my heart to a cobra
'Cause nothing ever happens to me Like a blessing disguised as a curse
Like a sermon that’s runs 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 debutant in a tanktop
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
