Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw it all happen, take place
At my window, I was looking down
I had no time, just time to say
Hold on, I'm coming
And he was lying there, it's all just too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw a fall and it all take place
At my window, I was looking down
See people, you can't be safe
Hold on, I'm coming
It's moved on now, and it all passed, and it's all too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw it all with my own eyes
Saw it all as clear as day
Clear as blue, blue fucking daylight
I say
Hold on
I'm coming
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Hold
On
No
More
Hold on
No more
Hold on, I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Pushing up daisies out of the ground
Thought I heard him call her name
By the time he hit the ground
Another day, another town
Another body on the ground
By the time the sky was grey
Nobody down, nobody came
I said
Oh lord
No more
Oh lord
No more
Oh lord
I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late
