When Lucy's Down

I spoke in a rhyme but the words were not mine

they must have been yours

You were to defy but then you rolled your eyes

and then you opened up the doors

I picked up a plate from which you ate

and then I ate from it too

You poured me a drink but still didn't bust a link

but I wasn't chained with you

When Lucy's down she's down she's down

Lucy you're down and you take the whole world with you

I feel fine, so don't read my mind

you lit up like a candle

You put on your petticoat, celebrating I would quote

'til I was blue in the face

Some would call it customary, brainwashed and ordinary

the things that we would chase

Thinking you were waterproof you took a dive off from the roof

into the rain

Fever was high and we were spinning in our primes

all else seemed tame

When Lucy's down she's down she's down

Lucy you're down and you take the whole world with you

I feel fine, so don't read my mind

you lit up like a candle

I've survived harder falls than this

With a sugar coated smile and self possessive kiss

You lit up like a candle and I saw you explode

you lit up like a candle

When Lucy's down she's down she's down

Lucy you're down and you take the whole world with you

I feel fine, so don't read my mind

you lit up like a candle

Get up Lucy

Get up on your feet Lucy

Lucy, thinks like a giver, she flows like a river
