Down In the Dumps - WALK THE MOON

When you walk through the garden You gotta watch your back I beg your pardon On the straight and narrow track You say you walk with Jesus To save your soul You gotta keep the devil Way down in the hole All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword And they'll shield you with their wings When you're close to the Lord Don't think about temptation Your hands will go cold You gotta keep the devil Way down in the hole When you walk through the garden You gotta watch your back I beg your pardon On the straight and narrow track You say you walk with Jesus To save your soul You gotta keep the devil Way down in the hole Way down in the hole Way down in the hole Way down in the hole

Down in the park Where the madmen meet The machines play'kill-by-number' Down in the park with a friend called 'five' I was in a car crash Or was it the war But I've never been quite the same Little white lies like "I was there" Come to "tom-tom's" a place to eat Like it was built in one day You can watch the humans try to run Oh look, it's a rape machine I'd go outside If he'd look the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you A different face but the words never change Down to the park Where the chant is "death, death" Until the sun cries morning Down in the park with friends of mine We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you A different face but the words never change We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you

I drove up to the city at night And found the place where you grew up And then where you stayed And then we walked around And stayed up late Under city lights And I spent the night Next to you in the house where you grew up Next to you I miraculously woke up In your parents' house I lied in bed with you I went out to feel alone there I went back to wipe it clean I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from With foggy air And the wind And the mountain top And we clung to rocks And we looked off You held my hand You almost got to start feeling me I finally felt like I was breathing free And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream The stars were bright We dream the same every night On my island home I spent some time with you I went back to feel alone there I went back there by myself And gave up on everything that we'd felt We found a precious place in the sand Right out in the wind And lied under a blanket And heard the furious sound The roar of waves The pounding surf Two bodies on the earth It was intense just getting to be there next to you And you were trying to get me then And I was happy to let you in I went back and wished I hadn't I went back and felt regret I went to the beach and I stared west Every night when the sun went down In the town where we live The empty streets were lit up By reflected light From a distant sun Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock We just lied on the roof and watched The moon The moon The blue light of the moon We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful Like the moon my chest was full Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock And we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft There's nothing left except certain death And that was comforting under the moon I went out last night to forget that I went out and stared it down But the moon just stared back at me And in its light, I saw my two feet on the ground
