I see you running out the house
and crying in the yard
cleaning off the tears I always cause
Every sip I take
Every needle I abuse
It tears me up inside, but I can't get enough
Won't you calm my nerves
With your peaceful sound
Down, Down and Out
Down, Down And Out
Next time you call
Well, I hope that I'm alive
Cause I'm feeling like I might not be
Forgive my sins
cause I'm faded out and drunk
and there's kerosene in my veins, won't you get it out
Won't you calm my nerves
With your peaceful sound
Down, Down and Out
Down, Down And Out
Every time I think I've kicked my habit I haven't
I still need you by my side
In other words
Won't you calm my nerves
With your peaceful sound
Down, Down and Out
Down, Down And Out
Down, Down And Out
