Don't Look Down Lyrics - Divine Comedy

"Birds and planes go 

Through the rainbow 

Every day though 

You simply refuse 

Old-fashioned Ferris Wheels 

Are no big deal 

They're just big wheels with chairs 

So don't be scared 

Just set yourself free" 

She tells me it's alright 

To open up my eyes 

She holds onto my hand 

And the clouds float by 

The couple in the car below 

They wave to us and say hello 

I think they understand 

The way we're feeling

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

I don't need to say 'I love you' 

When we're floating 

So far up above 

Everyone else's lives 

Are intertwined 

With yours and mine 

I hope 

They find the joy 

That we have found 

She tells me it's alright 

To open up my eyes 

She holds onto my hand 

And the clouds race by 

The couple in the car above 

I suppose they think 

That we're in love 

I think they might be right 

Photos 

And without warning when we're almost at the top 

The wheel that turns us all comes to a sudden stop. 

The wind that's blown us dies a quick and painless death 

The air gets clammy and we hold each other's breath 

We get the feeling that we're not alone in this 

And then a God who really ought not to exist 

Sticks out a great big hand 

And grabs me by the wrist 

And asks me "why?" and I say 

"Well God, it's like this 

It may be arrogance 

Or just appalling taste 

But I'd rather use my pain than let it all go to waste 

On some old god who tells me what I want to hear 

As if I cannot tell obedience from fear 

I want to take my pleasures where and how I will, 

Be they disgraceful or distasteful or distilled 

And to be frank I find that life has more appeal 

Without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel" 

Then God decides that he has taken quite enough 

Of all this atheistic tosh I'm spouting off 

And so he calls upon his favourite angel choir 

To sing of times when men were filled with christian fire 

But over-zealous angels flap their wings too fast 

And cause the wind to blow and turn the wheel at last 

And soon my feet are safely back on solid ground 

And then I hear a voice say 

"Don't look down!".
