Living it Down Songtext
von Stump

A terrible beauty is born
Mick steps out on the twenty-seventh floor
And views the Babylon below
With couples, dogs and children scurrying to and fro
It′s been a long hard life, but now he's nearly twenty-one
He′s read the Sermons on the Mount
And as for me, I'll never live to twenty-three

Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo

The air is cleaner here on high, or so it seems
There must be chemicals that rise, I've got those flying dreams
The aeroplanes and helicopters pass much closer by
If I could just reach up and touch the sky


Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo

He sees a never-ending search for sex and surf and squats and fun
He′ll never see a villa in the sun
But yet there′s one way he'll make sure he′s not depressed
And maybe get a notice in the local press

Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo
Down, down, down, yoo-hoo

The sky is glistening with lights, or so it seems
Outside the day turns into night, inside the alligator screams
The aeroplanes and helicopters pass much closer now
I spread my aviator wings

The air is cleaner here on high, or so it seems
There must be chemicals that rise, I've got those flying dreams again
The aeroplanes and helicopters pass much closer by
If I could just reach up and touch the sky
If I could just reach up and touch the sky
