Lyrics The Bottom (Live) - Charlie Robison

Elevator operator look at me
And smile a weary smile
I know my face could easily deceive
The wisest of them all
And he said
Are you goin' to the penthouse or the condo that lies
Just beyond the chapel door
He just smiled and softly told me no
I'm goin' to the bottom

I'm goin' all the way down
To the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Benedictine
Liquor flow
No need to worry about tomorrow
Cause you're not here
I'm goin' all the way down
To the bottom

Rainy streets wet memories I find a place inside
To pass the time
Doug serves up my brandy and I drink it
And pray the picture fades
Dressed in black you turned your back on the only
Heart that ever loved you so
The bells rang on the day we died and I headed to the bottom
