Beck - Country Down Lyrics
Oh country downWhere I found my proving groundAll along the floodlineWheels are turning aroundThe hills roll out like centuriesPass by without a soundJust a mile outside of townDownriver-boundWhere the limit to your sky fell downA plot against your willIs furrowed into your browAgainst your better judgmentIt's all behind you nowJust a mile outside of townWhat's the use in being foundWhen you can lose yourself in some good ground?In the weeds hiding downriver right next doorThere's no frame around your pictureJust a view through my back doorTime evermoreYou just found what you're looking forA tiger rose growing through your prison doorReaching for sunlight, can't see it anymoreJust a mile from my back doorYou could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sunOn a ladder up to the skyYou're standing on the lowest rungHolding a lifeline, using my best defenseRunning in the undertow I couldn't fight againstOh lay me downWhere we found my proving groundAll along the floodlineWaves are turning aroundThe hills roll out like centuriesPass by without a soundJust a mile outside of town
