It's not about the boy
found slain
It ain't about his lips
blood drained
You should've seen his
Into the dumpster behind
dreams dissolve
the mall
I'm goin' down to the

I'm goin' down inside
wonderful life
I'm goin' down on the
a satellite
bullet train
I'm goin' down on the perfect dream

It's not about the
freeway drone
That score her tired
journeys home
Softly licking her to sleep
Her eyes are closed to
the brake light streaks

Sleep in the softest bed
For anything at all
Eat everything you need
Never ask anyone
Why can't I stroke this

world to sleep
Please help me stroke
this world to sleep

It's not about his
prescription brain
keep it sane
Deprived of pills that
He told himself he could
See him plead with the
go it alone
unplugged phone

Sleep in the softest bed
Eat everything you need
Never ask anyone
For anything at all
Prisoned inside of me
That restless old monkey
Stiff bones that
close him in
deep within
He waits trapped

I'm goin' down to the
wonderful life
I'm goin' down inside
a satellite
I'm goin' down on the
I'm goin' down on
the SST
I'm goin' down to the
perfect dream
wonderful life
ripped up kite
broken ribs
I'm goin' down like a
I'm goin' down with
I'm goin' down to a
dirty crib
