Like water through a drain, I'm spinning down, down, down Like the needle in my vein, You're bringing me down, down, down Like a dog who's gone insane, You're putting me down, down, down
And those of you who doubted me, Are going down, down, down And the record man who never called, Can you hear what's going on?
I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up And the world ain't gonna catch me going down
Like the food deep in my belly, I'm going down, down, down And for twenty bucks in the alley, I'm going down, down, down Like the trail beneath your valley I'm going down, down, down
For my ma, who's always honored me, I'm going down, down, down For my pa, who never wanted me, Can you feel what's going on?
I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up And the world ain't gonna catch me going down
Oh, won't you please beleive me, Oh baby don't you leave me Why wont you say you need me Please use them breasts to feed me, I ain't going down
For my ma, who's always honored me, I'm going down, down, down For my pa, who never wanted me, Can you feel what's going on?
I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up I'm coming up And the world ain't gonna catch me going down
