Come Downstairs & Say Hello
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.
Guster:
Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with Dark Side of the Moon
Someone, someone could tell me where I belong
Be calm, be brave, it'll be okay
Rufus Wainwright:
No more messing around and living underground, or New Year's resolutions
By this time next year I won't be here
Guster:
I turn on, turn on MTV, the volume's down
Lips move, they say "it'll be okay"
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me, I'm never saying them again
And I shut the light and listen as my watch unwinds
Rufus:
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep, I'm never doing that again
I look straight at what's coming ahead, and soon it's gonna change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep, these words repeating in my head
Guster & Rufus:
Voices calling from a yellow road to come downstairs and say hello
Don't be shy, just say hello
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep, I'm never doing that again
I look straight at what's coming ahead, and soon it's gonna change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep, those words repeated in my head
