Coming down again
Share your thoughts, there's nothing you can't
hide
She was dying to survive
I was caught, oh taken for a ride
She was showing no surprise
Coming down again
Where are all my friends?
Coming down again
Coming down again
On the ground again
Coming down again
Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie
Tasting better every time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry, it ain't no crime
Coming down again
All my time's been spent coming down again
Coming down again
Sky fall down again
Yeah baby...
TrackTalk
Coming Down Again is my song.
On a slower side, I like to use a little bit
of phase or put it through a Leslie (speaker) to make the rhythm guitar
more interesting. Coming Down Again was a mixture of a Leslie and
wah-wah.
I wonder about the songs I've written: I really
like the ones I did when I was on (heroin). I wouldn't have written
Coming Down Again without that. I'm this millionaire rock star, but
I'm in the gutter with these other sniveling people. It kept me in touch
with the street, at the lowest level.
