Lyrics

[Intro] Down there (Do you know where you are? No, I don't. I was talkin' to Dave, and I told him that the reason I get so mean, I mean, I would like to, to make it stronger, so it's angry [?]) [Verse 1] The flies in the dark with their ways Of shedding some light, now I've lost all my day I think they are very lucky With internal parts like illumined sun rays It's so easy to get Lost in the mixture When forces strike hard You wear your layers or you'll shiver I didn't think you were Struggling so long With all of the wild things That we took so young How it must have wrapped you up And left you hanging upside-down When I was too busy getting lost in The big sound, the big sound [Verse 2] Now I'd trade in all I'd saved To fly to those nights and ask, "How are you lover?"
