Elliott Smith - Don't Go Down Lyrics

Elliott Smith Lyrics

"Don't Go Down"

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'd have to rise 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'd 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
Stay
