Down The Dip Lyrics by Aztec Camera

Down The Dip

Words and music by roddy frame


[chorus]
I put all the love and beauty
In the spirit of the night
And Im holding my ticket tight.
Stupidity and suffering
Are on that ticket, too
And Im going down the dip with you.

I swear Im touched but then Im tired
Everyone who tries to tie me.
cause I seem to realize
That my cup overflows.
And then I tumble down and take your hand
And no one even knows.
With the broken backs
And the pack of macks
Sayin thats the way it goes.

Chorus

cause I been facin all the red
Me, Im chasin all the orange.
And while the bourgeois breed
All you need is greed
And that quiet remembrance day.
Im gonna pull that chain
til the heavens rain
And I see them wash away.

cause Ive bound myself to virtue
But Im bound to be amused.
If its less than this
You know I cant approve.
Ive been hangin with the hollow men
Who never got the groove
And Im going down the dip with you.

Chorus
