Elliott Smith - Don't Go Down Lyrics

i met a girl
snowball in hell
she was hard
and as cracked as the liberty bell
i got her to
come on and move in with me
and i said i'd find a better place
we could spend eternity
don't go down
don't go down
stay with me, baby stay
her mama called me a thief
and her dad called himself
commander in chief
i fought him off with my love
but i knew the sense of worthlessness she would have to raise above
don't go down
don't go down
stay with me, baby stay
don't go down
don't go down
stay with me, baby stay
she had a dream
woke up in shock
she had seen
her own body outlined in chalk
i split the scene the globe's been spun
and her ghost leaned down to kiss me
with a message from the sun
don't go down
don't go down
stay with me, baby stay
don't go down
stay with me, baby stay
don't go down
stay with me, baby stay
