Going Down Songtext
von Lou Reed

When you′re in a dream
And you think you got your problems all nailed down
Pieces of the scheme
Seem to rattle up, then to rattle down

And when you start to fall
And those footsteps, they start to fade

Well, then you know you're going down (going down)
Yeah, you′re falling all around (going down)
And you know you're going down (going down)
For the last time


When you're in the air
And you′re thinking you′ll drift off into the west
Your friend's polite advice
Hey look, you′re pushing too hard
And perhaps you need a rest

And when you start toknow you're going down (going down)
For the last times, not what it seems

It just seems longer, when you′re lonely in this world
Everything it seems
Would be brighter if your nights were spent with some girl

Yeah, you're falling all around (going down)
Yeah, you′re crashing upside down (going down)
Oh, oh, and you know you're going down (going down)
For the last time
