Down On Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are waking up in a pile of shit
The whole bay is full of it

And it keeps growing out of our ears
But we keep swimming in this wide oceans of salty tears

[Chorus]
I could use a break, me need to go
Down, down, down, down on life

I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight
I could use a break, me need to go
Down, down, down, down on life

I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight

[Verse 2]
Down the central of your sensual sense (Sensual sense)
Freak more freaks now while I got the chance
But keeps on cool, dogs, don't waste it all
The day is soon to come when you gon'
Need it, y'all, I say

[Chorus]
I could use a break, me need to go
Down, down, down, down on life
I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight
I could use a break (Could use a break), me need to go (Me need to go)
Down, down, down, down on life
I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight
[Bridge]
Like leaves, the days are falling, not tell me why
The breeze carry for a while, but it will fall to the ground
These days life is a callin'
Life not a waiting, life is running away
But long after you're gone, your tears will still be answered
If you're here now, you'll be god forever

[Chorus]
I could use a break (Could use a break), me need to go (Me need to go)
Down, down, down, down on life
I need you to take (Need you to take) all my shadows (All my shadows) for a walk tonight
I could use a break (Could use a break), me need to go (Me need to go)
Down, down, down, down on life
I need you to take (Need you to take) all my shadows (All my shadows) for a walk tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
