Elliott Smith Don`t Go Down Lyrics

Don`t Go Down Lyrics

i met a girl 

snowball in hell 

she was hard

and as cracked as the liberty bell 

i got her to 

come on and move in with me 

and i said i'd find a better place 

we could spend eternity 

don't go down

don't go down

stay with me, baby stay 

her mama called me a thief 

and her dad called himself

commander in chief 

i fought him off with my love

but i knew the sense of worthlessness she would have to raise above 

don't go down

don't go down

stay with me, baby stay 

don't go down

don't go down

stay with me, baby stay 

she had a dream 

woke up in shock 

she had seen 

her own body outlined in chalk 

i split the scene the globe's been spun

and her ghost leaned down to kiss me 

with a message from the sun 

don't go down

don't go down

stay with me, baby stay 

don't go down

stay with me, baby stay 

don't go down

stay with me, baby stay
