Going Down Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

Well heaven knows the way things go 

With ticker tape and radios 

The good fight was lost long ago 

And bravery doesn't live in those 

Who're going down 

And I'm going down 

I had less sense than a harlequin 

I changed my clothes and jumped straight in 

It was hotter than it should have been 

Now with bloody legs and blistered skin 

I'm going down 

I'm going down 

Give me one more heart to break 

And I promise I won't make a sound 

From sad refrain to sad refrain 

I said you'd hear it all again 

The lonely call of distant trains 

I missed the point but hit the shame going down 

And I'm going down 

Its been there for the taking 

The only journey I'll be making is down 

Did you really turn the light off on your way down? 

Did you really mark the mirror on your way down? 

And ruin comes and ruin stays 

And, Jesus Christ, the games it plays 

Can't wash the smell off my skin for days 

The sex, the blood, the alleyway 

Going down 

I'm going down 

Well I got a little dizzy 

Somehow things have turned me around 

Well heaven knows the way things go 

With ticker tape and radios 

The good fight was lost long ago 

And bravery doesn't live in those 

Who're going down 

And I'm going down
