Lightning Seeds - The Nearly Man lyrics

Down here at the bottom When you're staring at the top With a head full of ideas I'm only flesh and blood On an eiderdown of glory And a pillow of desire Drifting on an ocean And the waves wash through my mind Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies Blows the lights out with a whisper and sighs If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down Well, I was nearly me and you were nearly you The nearly man was nothing, he was never any use Beaten down by generations, of generations beaten down There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies Blows the lights out with a whisper and sighs If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down If you're down, down, I'm down, down And when you're down, down, I'm down, down
