I been down so long
I can't get my head off the ground
And when ya get like that
Well the weight can be profound
Like you're being dragged down into a blackening hole
Like the men who dug up all that wretched coal, yeah
Get back to the animal beat of heart
Here we go again
And when they're dropping like flies
Well I know that can be hard
But every tragedy brings
A changing of the guard
Like a nebula bearing stars anew
Like a snake that sheds a skin or two, yeah
Get back to the animal beat of heart
When you're down at less than zero
Patti Smith, she's your f*ckin' hero
I been up so long
I can't get my head on the ground
And when ya get like that
Ya know the wait can be profound
Like you're being dragged down into a blackening hole
Like the men who dug up all that wretched coal, yeah
Get back unto the animal beat of heart
When you're down at less than zero
Iggy Stooge, he's your f*ckin' hero
Long time, but it would be a start
Here we go again
The fine lines that define us
Take away more than they give
Leave you with nothing to show
With shapes ya cannot reckon with
And hopes that remain in tatters
Down there in your essence of
Hopelessness
When you're down at less than zero
M. E. S., he's your f*ckin' hero
Long time, but it would be a start
Here we go again
