Down From Above Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

(Mike) 

Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb 

And how people die 

Watching over you when you were young 

Smiling when you learned to crawl 

You don't know her at all 

(All) 

It's a dirty job, but they're very suave 

Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine 

(Mike) 

Daddy's voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room 

Where yellow roses bloom 

A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a picture so calm 

That they swallowed Mom 

(All) 

It's a dirty job but they're very suave 

Jesus high on wine, weeping turpentine 

(Mike) 

What are they doing in there? 

Have they got guns? 

Make you run up and down the same hill 

And they'll break your will 

(Mike) 

Was it Christmas or Groundhog Day when your friends turned to shadows 

And they dragged you away 

Tell nobody that you've been here, don't breathe a word that's been said 

(whispered) (Now there's a scar) 

upon your forehead 

(All) 

It's a dirty job but they're very suave 

Jesus high on wine, weeping turpentine 

(Mike) 

What are they doing in there? 

Have they got guns? 

Whether Mount Pinatubo 

Or the threat of God's love 

There'll always be something that's raining 

Down from above. 

Down from above. 

Down from above. 

Down from above...
