Down Lyrics

Album: Down II

New Orleans Is A Dying Whore Lyrics

Started from the start

Wearing out the headstones

Was the end, was the right

Taking out a life loan

Hey, old man

When I'm going six feet down

You gotta make that promise to me

A stained glass cross lay behind my head

When taken by the undertaker

No questions anymore

It's higher than the black sky

Get you lower than the floor

Hey, old man

When I'm going six feet down

You gotta make that promise to me

A stained glass cross looking down on me

Hey, old man

When I'm going six feet down

You gotta make that promise to me

A stained glass cross hanging over me

I was just a young boy

My father sounded crazy

My death he couldn't bear to see

Either joking, sleeping, lazy

Hey, old man

When you're going six feet down

I gotta make that promise to you

A stained glass cross lay behind your head

Hey, old man

When you're going under and down

I made a secret promise to you

A stained glass cross looking down on you
