Goin` Down — текст песни (Monkees)





Sock it to me...

Floatin` down the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets `round
Goin` down
Goin` down

Coming` up for air
It`s pretty stuffy under there
I`d like to say I didn`t care
But I forgot to leave a note
And it`s so hard to stay afloat
I`m soakin` wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It`s front page news
Goin` down
Goin` down

I wish I had another drink
It wouldn`t be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn`t need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
Don`t want no more
Goin` down
I`m goin` down

And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now it`s really got me stumped
I can`t believe why I jumped
I`d like to get my tummy pumped
I can`t believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown
Goin` down
Goin` down

I wish I looked before I leaped
I didn`t know it was so deep
Been down so far I don`t get wet
Haven`t touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin` old
I`m hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only want to go on home
I`d gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don`t drown, I`ll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can`t swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin` like a mama cow
And now I`ve floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
I`d never, never do this anymore
I`ll give you three, I`ve been down nine
I`m goin` down just one more time.
Goin` down.
Goin` down.

Now the sky is gettin` light
An everything will be alright
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin` here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think I`ll ride the river down
Just movin` slow and floatin` free
There`s a river swingin` under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I`m floatin` on down to New Orleans
Goin` to pick up on some swingin` scenes
I know I`ll know a better day
I`ll go down groovin` all the way
Goin` down
Goin` down
