Lowdown, once again
Well I'm strugglin' now
To get by, my friend
It's keepin' me up
Late at night
I can't settle down
My honky tonk life
Driftin' 'round 'bout half past four
With the blues on my back
And a bottle on the floor
Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down
'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown
And she told me, 'It'll be OK,
Things'll soon get better one day'
But I don't see how
Driftin' 'round 'bout half past four
With the blues on my back
And a bottle on the floor
Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down
'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown
And she told me, 'It'll be OK,
Things'll soon get better one day'
But I don't see how
'Cause I'm too lowdown

She's a crooked sheriff in a real straight town
She openend the door, shake shake shake the lights go down
Clover honey and the Jimson Weed
Red leather skirt way up above her knees
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
She's a gone lost dirt road
There ain't no way back I been told
Well she's a story they all tell
She's a rebel, she's a yell
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
White heat in a cold rain
I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
Jockey La Fayette, Big Eyed Al
The second hand moon's shining for my gal
She's a big red flag in a mean bullpen
She'll steal it from you, sell it right back to you again
Well, she's a wild rose, she's not settled
Cold gun of ice blue metal,
Oh, my baby's lowdown
White heat in a cold rain
I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
Jockey La Fayette, Big Eyed Al
She's a cheap motel with a burned out sign
She'll take care of you definitely every time
She got a stolen check book and legs up to there
Singing into a hairbrush, right in front of the mirror
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown

Oh, my
Life has passed me by
The country I was brought up in
Fell apart and died
Oh, no
Ooh, love no longer there
Cold wind blew away the sun
That used to warm the air
Lowdown
Ooh, I'm feeling pretty bad
Feeling like I lost the best friend
That I ever had
Lowdown
I got to find a way
Got to make the people see
The way I feel today
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, hey
Hey, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah yeah, oh, no
Love no longer there
Cold wind blew away the sun
That used to warm the air
Lowdown
Ooh, I'm feeling pretty bad
Feeling like I lost the best friend
That I ever had
Lowdown
Oh, I got to find a way
Got to make the people see
The way I feel today
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, hey

I don't want to throw away my time
Playing games I don't respect or like
I can't give away my sovereignty
To existence with no song of me
And the hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
I built myself a beautiful brick wall
Gets a little higher every day
? ignorance inhabits me
Cause I've already chased my love away
And the hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
Take that happy banner off the wall
I don't need to see no smiling face
All I really want's a cup of tea
To feel a warmth inside of me
And the hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart

by Stephen Stills
Feel such misery and I don't know why
Feel so bad I'm surprised I'm not
condemned to die
I never thought that heartbreak
could bring such pain.
Guess that's what it's like when you
see different things
And I'm a-lowdown
Get me out of this place
And I'm lowdown
Like a hole in space
And I'm lowdown
Spirit movin' at a dreadful pace
Slowly dyin' I can see it in my face
Sadness and anger all that keeps me goin'
Tired of nothin' but my outsides showin'
And I'm lowdown
Dying embers of a fire
Sputtering tears of a lost desire
Hangin' on to hope that just might be
But I feel like I'm hangin' from a dyin' tree
And I'm lowdown
And I'm lowdown lowdown
Get me out of this place
And I'm lowdown lowdown
Like a hole in space
And I'm lowdown and I'm lowdown

It's the twists and turns
Of the cigarette burns
The holes in the mind
Of the nebulous mass
Forget no returns
And you don't learn
The debt between mine
And the hole in your past
I'm the dust
Of someone's ash
See you in Hell
With the rest of the trash
I need love
A love with question
A clean mind
And a pocket of space
I want a map
And a sense of direction
Looking for love
And the thrill of the world
Just spinning round
Trying to find [unverified]
You wanna be out there
When you're underground
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Do you feel it lowdown
Too many thoughts
Might have twisted my thinking
I just can't think straight anymore
I've got the bends
I can feel myself sinking
Just can't keep on
Keep on coming back for more
In love
There's no need to worry
I've got nails
So hold on, hold on
Think back before you started thinking
About the things you were
Sold on, sold on
Keep spinning round
Trying to hold on
But you're failing now
You wanna be up there
But you're underground
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Do you feel it lowdown
Lowdown, lowdown, lowdown
And the world
Keeps spinning around
Trying to burn
But you're melting down
You wanna be out there
But you're underground
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Do you feel it lowdown
Spinning round
Spinning round
Spinning round
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Do you feel it lowdown
Lowdown, lowdown, lowdown

Lowdown, cheatin', ain't no need for repeatin'
So love, dawn, can't you see?
That you never gotta fight with me
No you never gotta fight with me
Hurtin', beatin' ain't no need for repeatin'
So love dawn can't you see
That you never gotta bleed for me
Chancing, glancing, so enough mood for romancing
So love dawn can't you see
That you only gotta dance with me
Yeah you only gotta dance with me
Yeah you only gotta dance with me

The time is too short
but never too long
to reach ahead,
to project the image,
which will in time become a concrete dream.
Another cigarette,
another day,
from A to B,
again avoiding C, D, and E,
'cause E is where you play the blues.
Avoiding a death
is to win the game,
to avoid relegation,
the big E.
Drowning in the big swim,
rising to the surface
The smell of you

Took a drive down the southern coast
I wanna find me something else
I wanna be with someone I'm not
It is time for
The lowdown
Aahhh
It's time for the lowdown
This is the blood of christ
And a damn fine boujolais
I wanna be with somebody I'm not
It is time for
The lowdown
Aaahhhhhh
It's time for the lowdown
And I'm the greatest lie to walk this streets
And I stumble on my own feet
This right here is a love affair
With a bottle so sweet and fair
You can't hold a good man down
And I'm the greatest lie in this whole damn town
I don't feel like wasting more time
Well, it's time for the lowdown
Uh uh uh
It's time for the lowdown
Uh uh uh

Lowdown
You are the next on their list,
Be sure you won’t be the last.
Although their faces will change
They’ll always wear the same mask.
Whenever you are alone
You feel them breathe down your neck.
Be sure they will get you first
For they are one step ahead.
Lay down the lowdown!
They lay down the lowdown!
Right now!
The longing that burns inside,
Is calling you to give in.
No matter how you’ll decide,
Your motions are chained to strings.
Easy to cross the divide,
Adopt your enemy’s shape.
All of the dice have been thrown.
There is no way to escape.
Lay down the lowdown!
They lay down the lowdown!

All alone without you yeah
so alone, so alone
without you (X2)
Until that day I see you again
Death do us part your long lost friend
Can't wait to see your face again
I'll be here for you my friend
Seems like thru life problems, pleasure and pain
I've always been here and I will remain
remembering the days and the times we shared
If you need me yo! I'd be right there.
But now you're all gone
and I'm here all alone
and now i must face life on my own
I wish you could be here to hold my hand
somethings in life i can't understand
What I'm gonna do without you?
Why did you leave without me?
Sometimes love comes randomly
but now it abandons me (abandons me)
Every morning I wish I could see your face
now a quiet void lies here in you place
and till that day I see you again
death do us part your long lost friend
CHORUS:All alone without you (so alone, so alone)
uuh all alone without you
until that day I see you again
death do us part your long lost friend
can't wait to see your face again
I'll be here for you my friend
Share my chains, share my cost
take my pain, take my lost
and if I could turn back the hands of time
we would be here together now in our minds
forever in my thoughts, shall your vision run
till the end of time, till times undone
this world is dividing us
and can't provide for us (but still)
but still i believe I'll reach that day
and when i come up around your way
always have a place reserved for me
and where I deserve to be
and if I seem to be lost in the storm
forgive me, by and by, and keep me norm
cos till that day I see you again
death do us part your long lost friend

Listen to these takes from the dark;
A mistress stranded in the park,
underneath the larch she's laying face down
on the ground without a sound,
her causal shoes and straps are nowhere to be found
what's going down.
How can this be respectfully, but yes she's history,
So many things in this world that she'll never see.
But the mistress seems thight holding her purse to the right
deep in the moonlight at night.
In the late night mist a dead cold body lays adrift,
standing bold you stubble over now and take a whiff.
Fear comes inside your brain, feel the brain and the sane
hair standing straight,
tramadie goose bumps starts to drain.
Gently you reach out for the corpse
in the orpse, who can it be waiting, standing in remorse,
could it be a victim stabbed by a knife in the knight
or a lonely lover or a suicided wife.
Refrain:
I want you, i want you to know,
that there's a light, a light at the end of the road.
I'm frightened I'm scared and i don't know what to do,
(Don't go!) , darkness coming after you!
Threw the bushes stalks a masked man
Blood on his hand after fulfilling his evil plan,
He’s head back to his normal life
Back to his home which is nice and his wife
Just to be precise.
As he walks he starts to remenice
About the mistress fell in his deadly kiss.
Now see the darkness shining from his eyesight,
These are the takes steaming, beaming, from the moonlight.
In the early morning rain, raindrops across my pane
Feeling fear, I wish over to see what’s to gain.
Revealing is the sign, in my mind, it designs
Uncontrollable, vicious sightenings in the crime
I’m in a state if grieving, for this human being
Standing dazed I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
U better never walk alone by yourself in the park.
These are the tragic takes drifting from the deep dark!
Refrain:
I want you, i want you to know,
that there's a light, a light at the end of the road.
I'm frightened I'm scared and i don't know what to do,
(Don't go!) , darkness coming after you!
Oo You won't know, you won't know what to do
Ooh When Darkness's after you
I'm frightened I'm scared and i don't know what to do,
(Don't go!) , darkness coming after you!
Refrain:
I want you, i want you to know,
that there's a light, a light at the end of the road.
I'm frightened I'm scared and i don't know what to do,
(Don't go!) , darkness coming after you!
And now that the end of the story.
Beware when you walk in to the shadows of night,

Check it out
It's eleven-thirty my hand is getting dirty
Snatchin' up things that probably can't be waitin'
Now this is a vision of a violent life
Livin' by a guard and totem of the night
I'm slammin' doors 2-4-5 'n pullin' the keys
Now these are the traged valuable luxuries to me
In the early dawn before you yawn
I've been there swiped you and then I'm gone
Now it's six-o-clock my heart tic-tacs
A black sadden bag full of bad ass rocks
My identity has to be exposed
Stealing from the spot that I chooly chosed
I lose and enfuse my choice to chose
Now I'm sick and I'm fallin' deeper in the mess
There's no hope for me see
My path has been chosen I'm Johnny B
CHORUS:
Johnny B how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead a green light turns to red
Ooh why can't you see ooh Johnny B
CHORUS.
The situation's tight
You are billin' by the night
Can't choose between the wrongs and the rights
I'm searchin' for the clues yo-what am I gotta do
I got the habit to take valuable things from you
Here I stand and I'm physically trapped by my tent
Drifting northern breeze triumphal is this adman
A lonely path when I stand alone
A round mothern flexion bendin' by my own
Here I lay down into certain deaths
Two spirits calls grabs my very last breath
Sometimes I wish reveseness in my path
A simple guest or a simple laugh
But I'm evil dirty and mean
Two pounds blood pasts through my bloodstream
Frightened huh you should be
Who am I I'm Johnny B
CHORUS.
Here we go here we go now check the flow
Here we go Johnny B is in control
REPEAT
It's a sleepless night he's callin' your name
It's a lonely ride I know how you saw him
Again and again he's dressin' his dreams
Yeah Johnny my friend it's not what it seems

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side, oohh
Check this out
(Thursday night, That's official)
I knew this was normal, we meat from the start
Faith brought us here together, I know we playing our part
Now my heart is not to be messed around with
I went thru to many relationships to fall in the ditch
And now to switch to how you can just come back and explain
that you've changed and maybe we could rearrange
and make things the same but I know your aim is one: Just a game
I knew that you were sorry and this time you really meant it
And that you pray to got that the commitment, but I reset it
I mean, do you truly understand how much a family means to me
and how a family must stand and that a woman must be strong enough
Stay long enough, see thru wrongs enough to correct her man
And like girl we got to have this plan
we can built this foundations on the run, and not on same
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side,
grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a gear
(Thursday night, that's official)
Late nights I stay up thinking of you
This time candle lights I burn for you
Trust me again and I earn for you
I guess it's time for the right thing and it's my turn to do
To refocus and just commit
Get that house that I always wanted and live til I'm 96
And tell the tail how grandpa survived it all and went from poor to rich
Always be no odds, stay away from the mad make gods
Read the message among the stars, put these fancy cars
I'm going to stay focus on the goal,
and that's to be a soldier in a war gone cold
Spread some love to who ever needs it
And make them believe it that they still can rebuild and achieve it
And if you see this, we can be this
whatever happened in the past, f**k it, we can beat this
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side,
grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a gear
(Oh, sure, they're from another planet)
Wouldn't it be good oh so good!?
Wouldn't it be good for just one day?
Wouldn't it be good so far away, yeah!
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side,
grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a gear
(Background:
I'm tired so bad, don't know how bad now,
you've got it easy, you don't know when you got it good
It's getting harder, just keep your life and soul together

i feel like i don't know what's changed
all the feelings that are on my mind.
i feel like i don't know anymore
what's yours and what is mine.
i feel like i don't know where to go,
what to do or what i should say.
it's lookin' like i can't make it
so i'm gonna find me another way.
i'm looking for a lowdown, come around,
steppin' out of this dog pound.
i need to slow down, listen to the sound
of the outbound, goin' round and round.
i'm at the lowdown, come around.
am i losin' what i just found, out of bounds?
i'm at the touchdown, turnaround.
with my feet in the air and my ear to the ground.
i feel like i don't have what it takes
to be a full-fledged contender.
can i get a second chance
or will i be another great pretender?
and you're thinkin' i'm out of control.
and you're thinkin' i'm losin' my soul.
i gotta find another way.
and it's right next door.

Apathy this life is plain boredom
No will to live and I couldn't care the fuck less
It raped all my dreams and distorted my visions
Replaced my joy with sorrow
I'm drained on emotions no longer inspired
This life has no tomorrow
The confusion, what really happened inside my head
No solution, sometimes I wonder if we're all dead
Break me down just reap what I have sown
One last try before the final dawn
I reach down inside I take hold of myself
To leave this private hell
And when everything fails I seek trust in denial
Cause life had taught me well
Still confusion, what really happened inside my head
No solution, sometimes I wonder if we're all dead
Dehumanized, Broken
More dead than alive, I let go of this world
Fucked up inside cause the cuts are to deep
Deprived of my life I'm a negative creep
Depression had conquered the resistance inside
The pain is unreal yet I'm faking a smile
Still confusion, what really happened inside my head
No solution, sometimes I wonder if we're all dead
Dehumanized, Broken
More dead than alive, I let go of this world
Worn down - dehumanized - no more strength - broken
