Lyrics The Fratellis

The Fratellis

They Go Down

Well, I was born inside a fire

On the coattails of desire

I was orphaned in the flood

I was taken for a ride

My teams came crashing to the ground

I was defeated by the sound

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down

I was denied and I was sold

I was kept out in the cold

Well, there was never any doubt

That I believed what I was told

But all the time that I was looking

There was nothing to be found

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down

I never knew a single friend

Who didn't crumble in the end

I didn't bargain for control

I didn't break up in bed

With every weapon that they found

They tried to send me to the ground

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down

Well, I was invincible and weird

I was ignored and I was feared

I stood all that I could stand

'Til their faces disappeared

I was only half alive

There was no one else around

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down

I never cracked a smile

'Til my circus all left town

Even when I swam to glory

I was sure to drown

Praying hard for my breakdown

Praying hard for my breakdown

Praying hard for my breakdown

Praying hard for my breakdown

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now

Well, I was incurable and vain

A lunatic out in the rain

I was beautiful and unctuous

I was shackled to the chain

And I would scream 'til they agreed

That only half the world was round

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down,

Down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down,

Down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down,

Down, down, down, down, down

They go down

They go down

They go down
