Kid Down the Well - Matthew Good

The lights of fire engines

the neighbours standing on the grass

parents clutching their own, fighting heart attacks

and the kid down the well that’s me

Listen from the bottom

voices floating down like bees

helmet spotlights throwing lifelines to the deep

and the kid down the well that’s me

Always said you’re gonna get yours you keep going near that thing

like the missile in Strangelove, just drifting

in slow motion

In space you don’t need your legs to walk it off

don’t feel your body, just giant waterfalls

and the kid down the well that’s me

and the walls spin like you know it’s all been coming

Always said you’re gonna get yours you keep going near that thing

like the missile in Strangelove, just drifting

in slow motion
