Lyrics Going Down - Demo - Take 2 - Lou Reed

When you're in a dream
And you think you got your problems all nailed down
Pieces of the scheme
Seem to rattle up and then to rattle down

And when you start to fall
And those pieces, they start to fade
Then, you know you're goin' down
Yeah, you're fallin' all around
Whoa, and you know you're going down
For the last time

When you're in the air
And you think you'll drift off into the west
Friends polite, advise
You're pushin' too hard, and perhaps you need a rest

And when you start to fall
And all those footsteps start to fade
Then you know you're goin' down
Whoa, you're fallin' all around
And you know you're going down
For the last

Time's not what it seems
It's on to somethin', when you're all alone in this world
Everything it seems
Would be brighter if your nights were spent with some girl

Yeah, you're fallin' all around
And you know you're goin' upside down
And you know you're going around
For the last time

(That is it)
