Neutral Milk Hotel - Going Down Lyrics

before

i crush the world i was in
will i destroy the world i will find?
i'll invert the tools with my hands
i'll stick the needles in my eyes

and in my celebration
you are by my side
and now i'm going down
and through the complications
something inside me died
and now i'm going down

bring down the sky with my tears
dig up the earth with my hands
take a look inside of my head
maybe then you could understand

and in my celebration
you are by my side
and now i'm going down
and through the complications
something inside me died
and now i'm going down

so long again my friend
i guess it's time that i should let you know
these things they come around
i guess they just get hard to let them go
you wait around a while
you'll never seem to find that faith in me
you close your eyes and smile
forever i will be

i know the way and i will go
i know the way and i will find
it's all around me and i told you so
i'll wait around and hear, "goodbye"

and in my celebration
you are by my side
and now i'm going down
and through the complications
something inside me died
and now i'm going down
and all the big decisions
we never could decide
and now i'm going down
and in my celebration
you are by my side
and now i'm going down
