[Verse 1]
Like water through a drain I'm spinning down, down, down
Like the needle in my vein you're bringing me down, down, down
Like a dog who's gone insane you're putting me down, down, down
And those of you who doubted me are going down, down, down
And the record man who never called
Can you hear what's going on?

[Hook]
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
And this world ain't gonna catch me going down

[Verse 2]
Like the booze deep in my belly I'm going down, down, down
And for twenty bucks in the alley I'm going down, down, down
Like the trail that leads to your valley I'm going down, down, down
For my ma who always honored me I'm going down, down, down
For my pa who never wanted me
Can you feel what's going on?

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Oh, won't you please believe me
Aw baby don't you leave me
Why won't you say you need me
Please use them breasts to feed me
I ain't going down
For my ma who always honored me I'm going down, down, down
For my pa who never wanted me
Can you feel what's going on?
[Hook]
