Let's See Who Goes Down First Lyrics - Deus

I was walking down the river 

Playing solitary quiver 

I was thinking about a million different lives 

She came dancing up a mountain 

Spread her whiteness like a fountain 

And an hint of broken turquoise in her eyes 

She came all the way to say I didn't stand 

A single chance the state that I was in 

I said, "Your soul is swaying" 

She said, "Hey that's a pretty saying 

But unfortunately it is not true" 

She said, "You're just looking for another to love you" 

Now we all know the world is dying 

And expenses multiplying 

But you could try to take it easy too 

Let me take you for a ride 

I will take you for a ride 

'Cause in time you'll be mine 

When you're mine 

It'll be oh so fine, yeah 

At the time I wasn't feeling that good 

At the time I wasn't feeling that good 

I wasn't longing for a strange delight 

I wasn't flashing on the dark of night 

I wasn't going for no periodic mood 

I wasn't suffering no odd decease 

I never thought of it as no unease 

But when it called me I just had to let it loose 

It never made me wonder or even think 

Just merely tapping tapping on my instinct 

It left me there but I wasn't left to choose 

Now I heard stories about this kind of thing 

It haphazardly just sucks you in 

Makes you do stuff you never thought you'd do 

One night it drove me to despair 

What if anybody had seen me there? 

To this day I still wonder how they knew 

They started spreading rumors about my state 

You know how it goes around this place 

Now and then they just need someone to screw 

My senses numb but I could feel 

Four, five years been taken out of me 

If you'd ask me, there's no way I could prove 

The smell of hysteria was chemical 

The air around me thick and physical 

My mind was racing but myself I couldn't move 

It had me running, running, running 

Now I heard stories this kind of thing 

It doesn't lose it just let's you win 

With a little bit of luck you don't come out too bruised 

Such anger that I couldn't vent 

So much energy I couldn't spend 

It would have fucked me over 

If I hadn't cut it loose, yeah 

I wasn't suffering no odd decease 

I never thought of it as no unease 

Next time it calls me I'll be ready 

'Cause I know 

I'll be ready 

I'll be ready
