Elliott Smith - Don't Go Down lyrics

I met a girl, a snowball in hell She was hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell I got her to come on and move in with me And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me Baby, stay Her mama called me a thief And her dad called himself commander-in-chief I fought him off with my love But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me Baby, stay Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me Baby, stay She had a dream, woke up in shock She had seen her own body outlined in chalk I split the scene, the globe had been spun And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me Baby, stay Don't go down Stay with me Baby stay Don't go down Stay with me Baby, stay Stay
