You are an eye sore or a sight for sore eyes--
I'm not sure what's worse
And here I go, of course
I'm putting my cart before my horse
And I'll go manhole by manhole
Get sucked in blackhole by blackhole
Just to find out where you roll
To find where you sleep
what lucky swamp keeps you company
Cuz I hear you, like a distant drum,
like a thump on a coffee canister with a thumb
(dum dum dum dum dum)
You rise up like the Lochness in the darkness-
but it don't give me the creeps
All i feel is fog,
if my room were a swamp in this analogy
And I'll go manhole by manhole
Get sucked in blackhole by blackhole
Just to find out where you roll
To find where you sleep
what lucky swamp keeps you company
Cuz I hear you, like a distant drum,
like a thump on a coffee canister with a thumb
(dum dum dum dum dum)
I hear what you fear the most is what you really want the most
Clutch my bed and tell my head not to fear beasts or ghosts
In the sewer grate lies my face, lies our fate,
hey look, here comes your feet
All I see is your laces--
if that's what the case is,
I"ll suck them down with me
And I'll go manhole by manhole
Get sucked in blackhole by blackhole
Just to find out where you roll
To find where you sleep
what lucky swamp keeps you company
Cuz I hear you, like a distant drum,
like a thump on a coffee canister with a thumb
Cuz I feel you, tongue on tongue,
your doorknob's done,
your ceiling light falls to the ground,
(shards in my gown)
The better things fall down
The better things fall down
The better things fall down
down down down
I'm not sure what's worse
And here I go, of course
I'm putting my cart before my horse
And I'll go manhole by manhole
Get sucked in blackhole by blackhole
Just to find out where you roll
To find where you sleep
what lucky swamp keeps you company
Cuz I hear you, like a distant drum,
like a thump on a coffee canister with a thumb
(dum dum dum dum dum)
You rise up like the Lochness in the darkness-
but it don't give me the creeps
All i feel is fog,
if my room were a swamp in this analogy
And I'll go manhole by manhole
Get sucked in blackhole by blackhole
Just to find out where you roll
To find where you sleep
what lucky swamp keeps you company
Cuz I hear you, like a distant drum,
like a thump on a coffee canister with a thumb
(dum dum dum dum dum)
I hear what you fear the most is what you really want the most

The better things fall down
The better things fall down
The better things fall down
down down down
