Down The Dip lyrics


Words and music by Roddy Frame
Chorus:
I put all the love and beauty
In the spirit of the night
And I m holding my ticket tight.
Stupidity and suffering
Are on that ticket, too
And I m going down the dip with you.

I swear I m touched but then I m tired
Everyone who tries to tie me.
Cause I seem to realize
That my cup overflows.
And then I tumble down and take your hand
And no one even knows.
With the broken backs
And the pack of Macks
Sayin that s the way it goes.

Chorus

Cause I been facin all the red
Me, I m chasin all the orange.
And while the bourgeois breed
All you need is greed
And that quiet remembrance day.
I m gonna pull that chain
Til the heavens rain
And I see them wash away.

Cause I ve bound myself to virtue
But I m bound to be amused.
If it s less than this
You know I can t approve.
I ve been hangin with the hollow men
Who never got the groove
And I m going down the dip with you.

Chorus
