 Like water through a drain
I'm spinning down, down, down
Like the needle in my vein
You're bring me down, down, down
Like a dog who's done 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?
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
And the world ain't gonna catch me going down.
Like the food in my belly
I'm going down, down, down
And the twenty bucks in the alley
I'm going down, down, down,
Like the trail beneath 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?
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
And the world ain't gonna catch me going down.
Oh won't you please believe me?
Oh baby don't you leave me
Why won't you say you need me
Please use that breast 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?
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
And the world ain't gonna catch me going down.
