Downtown Start II

When I seize the day

Somethin' in the ether turns me up

When the goings get rough.

You care too much about anything, for too damn long

It runs you 'round, eventually.

What I become

I fail to it.

And I wanna tell ya

The war that surrounds you,

It's not your friend.

And with that I'll slip back into the shadows again

I was where you are.

What's self doubt do?

Stomp your livin' soul out 'til it's dead and gone, to that grey beyond

To a shallow grave in some park it tries to put you in.

The gory details. Downtown.

Sent back on a rail. Better now.

Spent all this time survivin' on the edge of a knife

I'll tell ya all about it in another life.

The rottenness inside of me dies by the time I see you downtown.

I was young and dumb and drunk with wanderlust

No, love. All love! Where I come from...

Tryin' to keep myself from floating off to the grey beyond

What else could I do?

Sail on.

Sail on.

Hey, yo Craig! Thank you so much!

Yeah, this place got some saints that hold it down

Right near you.

Let your people know you love 'em while ya can.

Downtown

You want more details?

I'm back off the rails

But the rottenness inside of me dies every time I see you downtown.
