Downbeat
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.
Yeah downbeat, downbeat comin' for you
yeah everything's gone, you once knew
downbeat, downbeat comin'
Trying to rely on what things used to be
and trying to live up, up, up, up
to your responsibility
everything's fucked up that you see
and the downbeat's come for you, yeah, yeah, yeah
and it's come for me
Downbeat, downbeat comin' for you
yeah everything's gone, you once knew
downbeat, downbeat comin'
Trying to rely
and downbeat's come and you can't hide
standing on the front porch
while downbeats collide
and downbeats coming up, up
it's got a grin
and I'm left in this S-I-T-U-A-T-I-O-N
Downbeat, downbeat comin' for you
yeah everything's gone, you once knew
downbeat, downbeat comin'
(x2)
Pickitup, pickitup-up
Yeah downbeat's gotta go
and it goes and it goes and it goes
and it goes
Downbeat, downbeat comin' for you
yeah everything's gone, you once knew
downbeat, downbeat comin'
Pickitup, pickitup-up
