Down Like Me - Ken Stringfellow
At last I understand the consequences of my love
But how could there be a heaven
When they kicked you out
Cuz you kicked out your chair from above
Everybody loves to stick with a winner
But you showed me
The line between victory and dying
Couldn't get much thinner cuz you
You found out how to get down
Down Like Me
When my self pity
Became less than full time work
I meditated on the methods and the means
And whether or not it would hurt
Then I got the call they found you
Swinging out over the earth
So over me you win again
In finishes forms
In finals and in firsts
You finally had to get down
Down Like Me
By the time you read this
I will no longer be here
I had to read these words
To all your family friends
Everybody you never held dear
We'll keep an empty place at dinner forever
And I'll maintain and empty chair
So you can set in
And we'll never grow old together
You showed em how to get down
Down Like
Down Like
Down Like
Down Like
Down Like
Down Like me
