Coming Down Lyrics - Meat Puppets

Coming down from the mountain 

I have seen the high and mighty 

I will go again someday 

But for now I'm coming down 

Coming down from the mountain 

I have seen the lofty glory 

I will go again someday 

But for now I'm coming down 

I have seen their information 

On the lighter side of dumbness 

I have heard the new statistics 

And the stomping on the ground 

Picking slowly up the rockslide 

One thing always seems apparent 

If the climb becomes too much 

I can always turn around 

Waking up from my slumber 

To misunderstand another 

Though they call it terra firma 

It dissolves beneath my feet 

Looking through a pile of garbage 

For some worthless piece of paper 

That's been hidden there for me 

To give meaning to my day 

Going down to the desert 

To the dirty filthy desert 

I'll be crawling through the sand 

For at least a couple days 

Going down to the desert 

ther are things owrth avoiding 

And it always makes me cross 

When those things get in my way. 

Coming down from the mountain 

I have seen the high and mighty 

I will go again someday 

But for now I'm coming down 

Coming down from the mountain 

I have seen the lofty glory 

I will go again someday 

But for now I'm coming down
