lyrics

Going Down

Fifty-five years digging this hole
Keeps filling up and I never hit gold (going down)
Good with my head, good with my hand,
Has someone got a job for the invisible man? (going down)
Gotta keep the fire inside
Grow a thick skin where the thin one died (going down)

They say that life is what you make it
You’ve got to pick this up and shake it
And shake it, shake it down

The game’s changed, I’ve got to start again
But I don’t know the rules
So how’m I gonna win and turn it round?
Black dog - visit every day
He’s gonna steal my life away and take me down

They say that life is what you make it
You’ve got to pick it up and shake it
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
Breaking down

I’ve been here since I don’t know when
Let’s have another drink and play the old song again
Spin it round
Let’s have another drink and play the old song again (going down)
Let’s have another drink and play the old song again (going down)
