"Downhill From Everywhere" lyrics
"Downhill From Everywhere"
Downhill from the prison
Downhill from the mall
Downhill from the factory farm and the hospital
Downhill from the border wall
Downhill from the high school
Downhill from the gym
Downhill from the church and the stadium
Downhill from the baby's room
Downhill from the office
Downhill from the bar
Downhill from the theme park and the family car
Downhill from happy hour
Downhill from everywhere
Downhill from all you see
The ocean is downhill from gravity
Downhill from here
Downhill from everywhere
Downhill from all of humanity
Downhill from the silver screen
Downhill from the Anthropocene
Downhill from the vineyard
Downhill from the mine
Downhill from the fruited plain and the bottom line
Downhill from Columbine
Downhill from the racetrack
Downhill from the news
Downhill from the sponsors and the camera crews
Downhill from the born to lose
Downhill from God's golden shore
Downhill from the grocery store
Downhill from the Senate Floor
K Street, and the never-ending war
Downhill from everywhere
Downhill from all you see
The ocean is the last stop for gravity
Downhill from here
Downhill from everywhere
All mankind's ambition and vanity
Do you think of the ocean as yours?
Because you need the ocean to breathe
Every second breath you take
Is coming from the sea
We don't really know
Because we don't really see
Do you think of the ocean as yours?
Do you think about it at all?
Downhill from the campus
Downhill from the loan
Downhill from the funeral home
Downhill from the laptop
Downhill from the trolls
Downhill from the Russian doll
Downhill from the N.R.A.
Downhill from the G.O.P.
Downhill from the I.C.E.
And your huddled masses yearning to be free
Oh yeah

The Pretenders - "Hymn To Her" Let me inside you
Into your room
I've heard it's lined
With the things you don't show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
I've been your lover
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter
When...
Keb' Mo' - "I Remember You" My name is Junior
From Memphis, Tennessee
My daddy was a hustler
And a stranger to me
I don't always know
Just what to say, now, listen
Do I look familiar
In any kinda way?
Well, I remember you...
Paul Carrack - "Sticks And Stones" People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Why won't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Scandlisin' my name
Saying anything...
Sheryl Crow - "In The End" There's a fly on the wall, in the house on the hill
Where the king of the world, watches TV
And the people await, for his latest mandate
To a nation of angry believers
His words are a trap, while his...
The Black Crowes - "Jealous Guy" One, two, three, four
I, I was a dreaming of the past
Ooh, and my heart was, heart was beating fast
I began
I began to lose control
Yes, I began to lose
Control
I didn't want to hurt you
Oh yes,...
