David Byrne - Daddy Go Down lyrics

The sun sinks low in the western lands

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

And a woman's heart is like the wind

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

And he could not put her from his mind

And love is strong and it will not die

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Protect me now from what I am

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

For I'm in too deep and I cannot swim

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

And he cursed his hands and he cursed his tongue

For what he'd saidfor what he'd done

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Lovelovelove's obsession

What keeps a man alive

By some strange possession

I stay safe inside

My heart's on probation

It was my first time

This worldworld of wonders

Stick your head outside

Now the ass can speak but he don't say much

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

His words of wisdomcome but once

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

So build your house on solid ground

And stay indoors when the rain comes down

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down

Go downdaddy go-downdaddy oh daddy go-down
