Way Down Under

(album: Rooster Rag - 2012)

Have you ever gone down under
Way down beneath the liquid thunder
Under the blue-black rolling sea
With s broken heart in revery

Gone so deep you can't remember
Come sweet July or deep December
The first, the last, the only one
Time herself with a sawed off shotgun

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean

Sing your songs as long as you can
Top of your lungs, let the rest be damned
It's time to find out on your own
Where you chihuahua burried his bone

Try to remember, do your best
Was it in the east or in the west
Where the sun rose or where it set
Follow your shadow to where we met

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean
What does anything really mean

Go ahead and take a whirl
But don't step out of the magic circle
Unless you can find your own way back
Sense of direction is all you lack

Knock knock knock, don't knock down the door
Love is enough, we don't need no more
Tragedy comes, tragedy goes
You're soaking wet, go change your clothes

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean

Jam down the throttle all the way
To seventh heaven by break of day
From city of blood and brick
And back again like a parlor trick

Maybe it matters, maybe not
What will you give for all that you got
Way down under where deep runs red
Never take back one word you said

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean

Way, way down under
Way, way down under
