Lee Rice - Straight Down to the Ground

Written in Kristiansand, Norway. August 2016

Straight down to the Ground

We stood up against the odds
All those awkward sods
They looked me up and down
When their eyes weren't firmly fixed
Straight down
Straight down to the ground

I travelled to the frozen stars
With my baby, my guitar
They looked me up and down
When their eyes weren't firmly fixed
Straight down to the ground

Chorus
And this song
Don't need to say that much more
When you look me up and down
Are you really sure?
I made my way through empty cities
Where their faces felt so cold
Now my body screams
You're getting old

I'd never get to share a kiss
Or start to understand this
Why they look me up and down
When their eyes aren't firmly fixed
Straight down
Straight down to the ground

Chorus
And this song
Don't need to say that much more
When you look me up and down
Are you really sure?
I made my way through empty cities
Where their faces felt so cold
Now my body screams
You're getting old
I made my way through empty cities
Where their faces felt so cold
Now my body screams
You're getting old

We stood up against the odds
All those awkward sods
They looked me up and down
When their eyes weren't firmly fixed
Straight down
Straight down to the ground
