Don't Go Down - Elliott Smith

i met a girl

snowball in hell

she was hard

and as cracked as the liberty bell

and i got her to

cove and move in with me

and i said i’ll find a better place

where we can spend eternity

but don’t go down

don’t go down

stay with me, baby stay

her momma 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 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

and i split the scence, the globe’s been spun

and her ghost beamed 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
