When I Came Down From The MountainThe air was heavy with a whore's perfumeWhen I came down from the mountain Our sleepy hollow was fetid lagoon When I, I came down from the mountain The tablets were heavy sure, but I'm stronger now And I'm free Free of all base instinct My head was dizzy from the lofty ideas When I came down from the mountain My wife was very, very beautiful And gone How am I going to live down here How am I going to make things right Who am I going to be How am I going to live How am I going to live I shaved my head, I put on the robes Attended to the sacred garden I worked in silence until I was clean And then I, I came down from the mountain How long she waited Before breaking down to break free How am I going to live down here How am I going to make things right How am I going to live Who am I going to be Who The air was heavy with a whore's perfume Our sleepy hollow was fetid lagoon The tablets were heavy, sure but I'm stronger now How am I going to live down here How am I going to make things right Who am I going to be How am I going to live How am I going to live |
