Working for the devil You'll have to pay his tax That means going to see him Down among the racks You do his work so fine He'll remember you Worried for my friend As he shows me round the flat Where I don't want to find him

I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain I put a bullet in my radio Something just hit me funny I don't know Just pulled the trigger going down the road You slammed the door and knocked me off the wire Been walking lines and you've been burning tires

I'm going down. My nose is in the sand I'm going down, down, baby. My nose is in the sand A cloud of dust just came over me and I think I'm drowning on dry land You know, my father told me, son don't rush to be a man You know, my father told me, son

We don't always say what we mean My youth is the foundation of me So wake me up in the Spring From the city of the 915 Where all the girls are pretty And they're down for the hype All my boys are with me Going up for the night But who cares, who cares

You walk all over me You never thought I'd be The one who's laughing now You're goin' down You're goin' down, down Now that you're goin' down Took me down to the river So I could drown, drown, drown Until you came around

Going down in flames Going down in a blaze of glory My last days We shall see They are coming now They're after me They want blood Yes it's true Going quietly I just don't do

And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero

Merry-go-round and round You know he's gotta get away To the merry-go-round and round Count the times that he laid awake at night thinkin' Am I goin' down now Am I goin' down Am I goin' down now, oh! It's not easy puttin' on a smile You're alone, lost

Hello America, hello America Yeah, I'm gonna try Hollywood and San Pedro Bay I'm gonna give my love to you Well I'm takin' me a trip I'm going down to California I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take you where the lights are bright I'm gonna give

Heart's are what I'm breakin' Pain is what I'm showin' Love is what I'm takin' Stay away from me I sleep, but I don't rest So, down is where I'm goin' Down is where I'm goin' Love's what I'm takin' There's a strong man lives up in Jackson hole
