Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you, all mine
Lotta people, underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down
(Woah Oh)
Straight down (Woah Oh)
There's a culture, everywhere
Smoke clouds, hang in the air
So loud, cant hear you talk
You can lie
Or take a walk downtown (Woah Oh)
Straight down (Woah Oh)
Downtown (Woah Oh)
Straight down (Woah Oh)
CHORUS
the argument over god continues (in this house)
all of us stand and point our fingers (to the ground)
all of us stand and point our fingers....
(Woah Oh)
Straight down (Woah Oh)
Red letter day, black heart
Its gonna tear you, all apart
So loud, cant hear you call
You and I
Gotta fall straight down (Woah Oh)
Straight Down (Woah oh)
Downtown (Woah oh)
Straight down (Woah oh)
CHORUS
(Woah Oh)
Straight down (Woah Oh) x3
Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you, all mine
Lotta people, underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down
CHORUS
the argument over all continues (in this house)
all of us stand and point our fingers (to the ground)
all of us stand and point our fingers
(Woah Oh)
Straight down (Woah Oh) x3
