The Bottom Songtext
von Charlie Robison

Elevator operator look at me and smile a weary smile
You know, my face could easily deceive the wisest of them all
And he said
"Are you going to the penthouse?
Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel door?"
But he just smiled and softly told me, "No
I′m going to the bottom"

I'm going all the way down to the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Benedictine liquor flow
No need to worry ′bout tomorrow
'Cause you're not here
I′m going all the way down to the bottom


Rainy streets, wet memories
I find a place inside to pass the time
Where Doug serves up my brandy and I drink it
And praying the picture fades

I dressed in black, you turned your back on
The only heart that ever loved you so
The bells rang on the day we died
I headed to the bottom

I′m going all the way down to the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Benedictine liquor flow
No need to worry 'bout tomorrow
′Cause you're not here
I′m going all the way down to the bottom

I'm going all the way down
All the way down
I′m going all the way down to the bottom
