I'm goin' down

(Sung by Paulie and the Libranos from their forthcoming CD "Rockin' the Jailhouse")

I go to the hall that would always be full
I would feel the heat coming 'round
I go inside and to my surprise
there's hardly a soul inside to be found
and you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

I used to have 'em all in my grasp
I scared them off Stephen, gave 'em all quite a fright
But now, old friends have been setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

I reach out but all you offer's a smirk
It's clear that you think I'm only a jerk
My promises used to turn you inside out
Now, it looks like I ain't got no clout
I don't want to let go of the scene that I've got
The power I had would drive me wild
But lately you get your kicks from just driving me down, down, down, down
I don't wanna go down, down, down, down
But I'm goin' down, down, down, down
Damn, I'm goin' down, down, down, down
