I’m Down Songtext
von Jack White

I′m Down
I'm Down and this town is a nuisance
It put my backbone all in a ruin
And with the area code of a truant
I′m fluent in the hazards of love
I fed a warrant to a billy goat
I fixed the spelling on a suicide note
A get well card from a holy ghost
To a beggar who smells like a rose

I'm Down
I'm Down and I fell like a loner
There′s a skyscraper city below her
I wanna feed my heart to a cobra
′Cause nothing ever happens to me


Like a blessing disguised as a curse
Like a sermon that's runs out of words
Like a cage that can′t keep any birds
I can't keep my arms around you
I′m Down

I'm Down
I′m Down and this town is a backdrop
A back road over a roadblock
With a debutant in a tanktop
Who's teaching me how to be free

Like a prayer in a personal ad
Like a knife in a broken back
Learn to love what you can't get rid of
Before it gets rid of you

I′m Down
I′m Down
I'm Down
I′m Down
