Going Down Lyrics by Lou Reed

Going Down Lyrics

    When you're in a dream
    And you think you got your problems all nailed down
    Pieces of the scheme
    Seem to rattle up and then to rattle down

    And when you start to fall
    And those footsteps they start to fade

    Well then you know you're going down
    Yeah, you're falling all around
    And you know you're going down
    For the last time

    When you're in the air
    And you're thinking you'll drift off into the west
    Your friends polite, advise
    Hey look you're pushing too hard
    And perhaps you need a rest

    And when you start to fall
    And all those footsteps they start to fade

    Then you know you're going down
    Yeah, you're crashing upside down
    And you know you're going down
    For the last -

    - time's not what it seems
    It just seems longer, when you're lonely in this world
    Everything it seems
    Would be brighter if your nights were spent with some girl

    Yeah, you're falling all around
    Yeah, you're crashing upside down
    Oh, oh, and you know you're going down
    For the last time
