Reach Down (Live at The Paramount Theatre, Seattle, 2016) - Temple of the Dog

Don't sigh a sigh for me Don't ever cry for me This is goodbye for me I know we're through I'm losing you Love sang it's song for me Then things went wrong for me Nights are too long for me Because I'm loosing you Our love and our devotion Were deep as any ocean Then one day like the tide you began to change And you became a perfect stranger Someone is holding you Sharing the lips I knew I can't believe it's true That I am loosing you I can't believe it's true That I am loosing you

Bell door on clanks, come on in Floyd observes my hairy chin Sit down chair don't be afraid Steamed hot towel on my face I was shaved I was shaved I was shaved Barney ties me to the chair I can't see I'm really scared Floyd breathes hard I hear a zip Pee pee pressed against my lips I was shaved I was shaved I was shaved I sense others in the room Opey, Aunt Bea, I presume They take turns and cut me up I died smothered in Andy's clutch I was shamed I was shamed I was shamed

I'll start this off without any words I got so high, I scratched till I bled Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The finest day that I've ever had Was when I learned to cry on command Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain My mother died every night It's safe to say, don't quote me on that I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The black sheep got blackmailed again Forgot to put on the zip code Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain Somewhere I have heard this before In a dream my memory has stored As defense I'm neutered and spayed What the hell am I trying to say? It is now time to make it unclear To write off lines that don't make sense I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? And one more special message to go And when I'm done, I can go home Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain
