The Bottom (Album Version)

Elevator operator
Look at me and smile a weary smile
I'm sure my looks could easily deceive
The wisest of them all
And he says, "Are you going to the penthouse
Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel door?"
I smile back and softly tell him, "No"
I'm going to the bottom
I'm going all the way down to the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liquor flow
No need to worry about tomorrow
'Cause you're not there
I'm going all the way down to the bottom
Rainy streets, wet memories
I find a place inside to pass the time
Duck serves up my brandy and I drank it
And pray the picture fades
Dressed in black you turned your back
And broke a heart that loved and loved you so
Yeah, the bells rang on the day we died
And I headed to the bottom
I'm going all the way down to the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liquor flow
No need to worry about tomorrow
'Cause you're not there
I'm going all the way down to the bottom
I'm going all the way down to the bottom
