The Nearly Man

The Lightning Seeds

Down here at the bottom 
When you're staring at the top 
With a head full of ideas 
I'm only flesh and blood 

On an either down of glory 
And a pillow of desire 
Drifting on an ocean 
And the waves wash through my mind 

Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies 
Blows the lights out with the whisperin' sights 
If you're down, down, I'm down, down 
And when you're down, down, I'm down, down 

Well, I was nearly me and you were nearly you 
The nearly man was nothing, he was never any use 
Beaten down by generations, of generations beaten down 
There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow 

Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies 
Blows the lights out with the whisperin' sights 
If you're down, down, I'm down, down 
And when you're down, down, I'm down, down 

If you're down, down, I'm down, down 
And when you're down, down, I'm down, down 
If you're down, down, I'm down, down 
And when you're down, down, I'm down, down
