I tried to lose you in the woods
I tried to give you my good looks
After all these things
You're still trying to catch up
After all these, still a parachute
Lower me softly to the ground
Ever so high down, down
Treat me to a night on the town
Lower me softly
Oooh oooh ooh ooh oh oh
Oooh ooooh ooh ooh oh oh
Bleeding America in stars and stripes
Spiral downward the way the swan dives
Open me slowly and I'll set you free
Open me quickly and I won't open
I'll drop you to the hard ground below
Go go go
Lower me softly to the ground
Ever so high down, down
Treat me to a night on the town
Lower me softly
Oooh oooh ooh ooh oh oh
Oooh ooooh ooh ooh oh oh
After all you I'll follow you out the door
God gave me the gift of sight
After all these I'm still a parachute
I asked for water but all I got was wine
Lower me softly to the ground
Ever so high down, down
Treat me to a night on the town
Lower me softly
Oooh oooh ooh ooh oh oh
Oooh ooooh ooh ooh oh oh
