I've been down

I tumble into space
Try to stop the fall
My body ripped and tore
I could have floated in space
Could have floated
I stumble 'round my home
I am on the outside
My legs and arms are lead
Feeling love from no one
Could have floated
My head weighs ninety pounds and I've been down
My friends are aliens and I've been down
Well now, I've got no wife
Cut a lizard's tail, it grows back to life
I killed some sleepless nights
My heart's torn to pieces
Could have floated
I am the funny guy
Yeah, I've been down
I am the big rock star
Yeah, I've been down
I'll never be the same 'cause I've been inside out
And I wanna be an animal and take care of my own
My head weighs ninety pounds and I've been down
My friends are aliens and I've been down
I know what it's like 'cause I've been down
Devil sneaks in and deals and I've been down
