Lyrics: Elliott Smith. From a Basement on the Hill. Don't Go Down.

I met a girl snowball in hell
She's as hard as cracked as a liberty bell
I got her to come on and move in with me
And I said I'll find a better place
Where we can spend eternity

Don't go down don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay

Her mother called me a thief
And her dad called himself commander in chief
I fall in love with my love
But I knew the kind of worthlessness
We 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
That's what they see the globe[incomprehensible]
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, stay, stay, stay
