Lyrics
Don't Look Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Word long is the word
Numb is a better word
So haven't you heard
Luke the Drifter and me
Who wrote us a song
Too lonesome to sing
Not on this side of the dial
Not on this short wave
Buster Keaton and I
Danced down on the window seal
Ten stores as high
If one night you take to walking
Way up off the ground
Do yourself a favor
Don't look down
I keep falling back to earth
Just as I am floating high
Luke the Drifter and me
Thumbed us a ride
Down the highway of dreams
Once you're out beyond the city
This old road gets dark
Lose your barrens
And forget where you are
I keep falling back to earth
Just as I am floating high
Very high high high
