Madeleine Peyroux - Down On Me

My job's gone missing
Insurance is a fail
Credit cards stopped coming
My attorney's in jail

Just broke a law
I never heard of before
Landlord thinks I'm made
So he bust down my door

Used to think
I was pretty damn smart
Smart enough to see
I'm falling apart
I keep going down, down, down
It's all coming down on me

My little bit of self esteem
Has gone up in flames
Teenagers getting wealthy
Playing video games

The local beat cop
Keeps giving me that look
Don't even know
What drugs I just took

The more I run
The more I end up where I start
Stuck in the same place
Tearing myself apart
I keep going down, down, down
It's all coming down on me

I remember back in Waikiki
Doing the Limbo by the sea
How low can you go?
The cabana boys teased
Now I'm down on my knees

Can't keep this up
But I hear it's worse to stop
If I dry out lay me to rest
At the corner coffeeshop

I don't feel brave
And I don't feel free
My only chance at winning
Is in the lottery

Used to see myself above it
Set myself apart
Now I'm stealing mini-vodkas
Rom the Mighty Mart
I keep going down, down
It's all coming down on me
