Richard Alderson - Coming Down lyrics

[Instrumental introduction] [Verse 1] I awakened in a pit of ashes From a sky that was cloudy and bloat With the hands that were sere and cold And eyes where the blood was shooting And the brain that was fallen and still Oh, comin' down I'm a-comin' down I'm a-comin' down [Verse 2] I awakened in a pit of ashes In despair where the lids were swollen The heart that was pounding and writhing And ears where the sounds were screaming And the mind that was ashen and still Cocaine! c**aine! I'm a-comin' down I'm a-comin' down [Verse 3] I said hello to that grief bird "Hello grief bird, what's happening?" "Ashes. Pits of ashes." "Hello grief bird." "Ashes, pits of ashes." Ashes, ashes and screams, ashes Ashes and shrieks, ashes Ashes and grieving, ashes and moaning Eyes with a vision of torture Fright with a feeling for d**h Comin' down I'm a-comin' down I'm a-comin' down [Verse 3] I said hello to that grief bird "Hello grief bird, what's happening?" "Ashes. Pits of ashes." "Hello grief bird." "Ashes, pits of ashes." Ashes, ashes and screams, ashes Ashes and shrieks, ashes Ashes and grieving, ashes and moaning Eyes with a vision of torture Fright with a feeling for d**h Comin' down Comin' down I'm a-comin' down Comin' down Comin' down I'm a-comin' down [fade]
