Kid Down the Well

The lights of fire engines
the neighbours standing on the grass
parents clutching their own, fighting heart attacks
and the kid down the well that’s me
Listen from the bottom
voices floating down like bees
helmet spotlights throwing lifelines to the deep
and the kid down the well that’s me
Always said you’re gonna get yours you keep going near that thing
like the missile in Strangelove, just drifting
in slow motion
In space you don’t need your legs to walk it off
don’t feel your body, just giant waterfalls
and the kid down the well that’s me
and the walls spin like you know it’s all been coming
Always said you’re gonna get yours you keep going near that thing
like the missile in Strangelove, just drifting
in slow motion
