You've been down so long
What's wrong... with you?
You've been down so long
What's wrong. You gotta be strong
Just to get along
Tell me I'm wrong.
Another sad song sung
But this time its new
Seems like the same thing bit you
I've got it bad that much is true
You can be anything just breath
Swim like a fish deep under sea
Green swaying trees
All you see.
A feeling this strong
Is quite rare when it
Comes on this strong
Some way some how
You best beware
I do what I can
But understand
When you stay down
Too long not a chance
I stay intact I'm so gone
I'm the guy inside
With the awkward smile
Whose mill hasn't ground in while
If there's substance there where's the style?
A feeling this strong
Is quite rare when it
Comes on this strong
Some way some how
You best beware
I do what I can
But understand
When you stay down
Too long not a chance
I stay intact I'm so gone
