Down Here Lyrics - David Wilcox

Under the castle in the land of snore 

Down in the dungeon where the weird are stored 

All the different and the outcast sneak back home 

After laughing in the bright lights all night long 

I'm lucky to be down with the cast aside 

Safe from the madness of the world we hide 

With everybody free to come and go 

Under the radar of the status quo 

Down here we always got each other 

Down here and it's how we know 

Down here that we're sister and brother 

Down here in the land below 

Down here we see you looking in 

Down here with your longing stare 

Down here we got a feeling of belonging 

(Down here) 

Because we're not up there 

Because we're not up there 

So you want to get close to the wild and strange 

You want to stand at the edge of the river of change 

(No) 

You got a hungry soul but a cautious mind 

So you can't quite leave your world behind 

So you come for a visit but you lose your nerve 

Out at the edges of the bell-shaped curve 

But I saw your soul when you dropped your fear 

You came walking in the world of the wild down here 

Down here we always got each other 

Down here and it's how we know 

Down here that we're sister and brother 

Down here in the land below 

Down here we see you looking in 

Down here with your longing stare 

Down here we got a feeling of belonging 

(Down here) 

Because we're not up there 

Because we're not up there 

I was only 4 maybe she was 5 

We were playing in the car parked in the drive 

And it all started off with the one mistake 

And that was the lever of the parking brake 

At the bottom of the hill we cranked it hard 

Missed all the bushes in the neighbor's yard 

And then picking up speed, running out of time 

We drove right into our lives of crime 

Down here we always got each other 

Down here and it's how we know 

Down here that we're sister and brother 

Down here in the land below 

Down here we see you looking in 

Down here with your longing stare 

Down here we got a feeling of belonging 

(Down, down here) 

Because we're not up there 

(Here) 

'Cause we're not up there, there
