It's not about the girl found slain
It's not about the coke on the plane
It's not about the entitlements lost
It's not about the new Holocaust

I'm going down
To the wonderful life
I'm going down
Across the bridge at night

I'm going down
On the bullet train
I'm going down
On a perfect dream

Sleep in the softest bed
Eat everything you need
Never ask anyone
For anything at all

It's not about the new hole in the sky
It's not about the crooks we can't try
It's not about the disease untamed
It ain't about the rapist unnamed

Sleep in the softest bed
Eat everything you need
Never ask anyone
For anything at all
Camera, stroke this world to sleep
Camera, stroke this world to sleep

It's not about the unborn killed
It's not about the day after pill
It ain't about any front page crap
It's all about the urge in your lap

I'm going down
To the wonderful life
I'm going down
Across the bridge at night

I'm going down
On the SST
I'm going down
On a perfect dream

Sleep in the softest bed
Eat everything you need
Never ask anyone
For anything at all

That restless old monkey
Prisoned inside of me
Stiff bones that close him in
He lives inside my sin
I'm going down
To the wonderful life
I'm going down
Across the bridge at night

I'm going down
On the bullet train
I'm going down
On a perfect dream

I'm going down
To the wonderful life
I'm going down
Across the bridge of hate

I'm going down
With broken ribs
I'm going down
To a dirty crib
