Down With The Shine - The Avett Brothers

Down with the shine, the perfect shine

That poisons the well, and ruins my mind

I get took for a ride every time

Down with the glistening shine

It’s in with the new, and out with the old

Out goes the warm, and in comes the cold

It’s the most predictable story told

It’s in with the young, out with the old

Down with the shine, the perfect shine

That poisons the well, and ruins my mind

I get took for a ride every time

Down with the glistening shine

A belly full of high-dollar wine

A fat hand, a fat wallet too

Things change and get strange

With this movement of time

It’s happening right now to you

Down with the shine, the perfect shine

That poisons the well, and ruins my mind

I get took for a ride every time

Down with the glistening shine

It’s a real bad time to bring up the truth

Though we’ve searched we found no Fountain of youth

Not in Spain, no where near anywhere

Close to here

There’s nothing good because nothing lasts

And all that comes here, it comes here to pass

I would voice my pain but the change wouldn’t last

All that comes, it comes here to pass

Down with the shine, the perfect shine

That poisons the well, and ruins my mind

I get took for a ride every time

Down with the glistening shine

I get took for a ride every time

Down with the glistening shine
