Elliott Smith — Dont Go Down

[Verse 1] I met a girl, snowball in hell She was hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell I got her to come on and move in with me And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity [Hook] Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me Baby stay [Verse 2] Her mama called me a thief And her dad called himself commander-in-chief I fought him off with my love But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above [Hook x2] She had a dream, woke up in shock She had seen her own body outlined in chalk I split the scene, the globe'd been spun And her ghost leaned down to kiss me With a message from the sun [Hook] [Outro] Don't go down Stay with me Baby stay Don't go down Stay with me Baby stay Stay
