The Bottom - Charlie Robison

Elevator operator look at me

And smile a weary smile

I know my face could easily deceive

The wisest of them all

And he said

Are you goin' to the penthouse or the condo that lies

Just beyond the chapel door

He just smiled and softly told me no

I’m goin' to the bottom

Chorus

I’m goin' all the way down

To the bottom

So turn the music up real high

and let the sweetest Benedictine

Liquor flow

No need to worry about tomorrow

Cause you’re not here

I’m goin' all the way down

To the bottom

Rainy streets wet memories I find a place inside

To pass the time

Doug serves up my brandy and I drink it

And pray the picture fades

Dressed in black you turned your back on the only

Heart that ever loved you so

The bells rang on the day we died and I headed to the bottom
