Don't Look Down Songtext

I'm part of you now
Don't give up or make a sound
Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
And if you don't look down
You won't feel a thing

It's father's time on the grandfather clock
And grandmother is ripping his face off
And mama's got a cold again
She started smoking cigarettes
Maybe we were younger then
We hated men, but loved the things that made us precious

Repeat Chorus

Crawling on my hands and knees
Can't lick this strange disease
I happened on this circumstance
Would it be rude if I asked you to dance? Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
And do it over, over, over, over, over and over again

Repeat Chorus

Don't look down
I'm part of you now
Don't give up or make a sound
Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
Yeah, oh...
