Country Down Lyrics - Morning Phase - Beck

Oh country down 

Where I found my proving ground 

All along the floodline 

Wheels are turning around 

The hills roll out like centuries 

Pass by without a sound 

Just a mile outside of town 

Downriverbound 

Where the limit to your sky fell down 

A plot against your will 

Is furrowed into your brow 

Against your better judgment 

It's all behind you now 

Just a mile outside of town

What's the use in being found 

When you can lose yourself in some good ground? 

In the weeds hiding downriver right next door 

There's no frame around your picture 

Just a view through my back door 

Time evermore 

You just found what you're looking for 

A tiger rose growing through your prison door 

Reaching for sunlight, can't see it anymore 

Just a mile from my back door 

You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun 

On a ladder up to the sky 

You're standing on the lowest rung 

Holding a lifeline, using my best defense 

Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against 

Photos 

Oh lay me down 

Where we found my proving ground 

All along the floodline 

Waves are turning around 

The hills roll out like centuries 

Pass by without a sound
