And Down We Go
And down we go,
And down we go again.
We do nothing by halves.
We drink deep,
Deep to the very dregs;
Take it in deep down.
And down we go,
Falling in and out of love.
And down we go again.
We're on the verge, on the cusp,
We ready ourselves,
And down we go again.
Having no self worth
Our love is worth nothing,
A fleeting presence
That comes too soon
And goes too fast.
Devalued, clichéd,
And down we go,
And down we go again.
