Down On Me - Madeleine Peyroux

My job’s gone missing, insurance is a fail

Credit cards stopped coming, my attorney’s in jail

Just broke a law I never heard of before

Landlord thinks I’m made so he bust down my door

Used to think I was pretty damn smart

Smart enough to see I’m falling apart

I keep going down down down

It’s all coming down on me

My little bit of self esteem has gone up in flames

Teenagers getting wealthy playing video games

The local beat cop keeps giving me that look

Don’t even know what drugs I just took

The more I run the more I end up where I start

Stuck in the same place tearing myself apart

I keep going down down down

It’s all coming down on me

I remember back in Waikiki

Doing the Limbo by the sea

«How low can you go?»

The cabana boys teased

Now I’m down on my knees

Can’t keep this up But I hear it’s worse to stop

If I dry out lay me to rest at the corner coffeeshop

I don’t feel brave And I don’t feel free

My only chance at winning is in the lottery

Used to see myself above it, Set myself apart

Now I’m stealing mini-vodkas from the Mighty Mart

I keep going down down

It’s all coming down on me
