Down Here
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.
On venus it rains sulfuric acid
And the raindrops evaporate before they hit the ground
[actual lyric]
Japanese red-crowned cranes by the water here
[alternate lyric]
Japanese red clowns train by the water here
Trouble in town
I feel like i'm gonna drown down here
It's all coming down down here
Hurricane's in from australia
Tore up the neighborhood
A telegram from lithuania
And the news is not good
And i don't speak the language down here
It's all coming down down here
Yeah
Johnson Johnson is my name
Brooklyn is my station
Heaven is my resting place
And god is my salvation
