lyrics

The Lowdown

Twist it up slowly three papers wide
Stare darkly out the window maybe go for a while
But I’m not going far why should I lie
I’m here with The Lowdown
And in for the night

It’s not hard to find it you can buy it anytime
Get the download free just click on the line
But I ain’t saying anything
You heard it all twice
If you want to do The Lowdown
You will pay the price

All of the boys do, most of my friends are
Hell, even the folks did but I am the real star
Better then television
I think even then sex
It will occupy you for hours and it’s hard to forget
So hand over Mary
Hand over your wife
Because if you’re going to do The Lowdown
You will start to let things slide

Chorus: It’s like an ocean
A big ocean
Water
Just like water

Plug in the woofer man disconnect the phone
Lots to do later but you know I won’t
Because locked down here it’s a wide comfort zone
It’s easy with The Lowdown
And the heavy bass notes

A corner for it, don’t need more then that
Say good-bye later, hell she’ll probably be back
But knocking down here with a hole in your heart
You put a chain on the door and you get to choose my part

Chorus: Because it’s an ocean
A big ocean
Like water
A lot of water

The essential thing is don’t think
Just move up and down the ladder, don’t blink
Don’t matter much if you don’t do it right
You can come back later, start again and just buy a new life
I sit in my room I do as I please
Stealing the minutes I feel like a thief
Out of my mind, out of control
I lost all perspective; it’s life in a hole

That’s The Lowdown
I got The Lowdown blues
That’s The Lowdown
I got The Lowdown blues

(C# A D G B E)
