lyrics

Need steady hands to hold down a job
Need a telescope, to see the eyes of god
I need some kind of relief from gravity and grief

Bad news on the wire from back home
Seems half my friends are dead and in the tomb
I put rocks in my pockets and i wade into the sea

And I know I'm going down slow
I know I'm going down slow

I've studied all the physics
I've read every word, written by your mystics
It seems at last, we all can agree

I gave away my Christian name
To a pagan priest in the driving rain
And I made my way from Gettysburg to Wounded Knee

And I know I'm going down slow
Yeah I know I'm going down slow

Moon's shinning bright just like a quarter
She's far away just like my lover
She can pull me this way and that, but i know she ain't never coming back

Sat down to write my last letter
Did my best to line it with the last of my silver
When i signed it I wrote, "I know now what it is I lack"

And I know I'm going down slow
Yeah I know I'm going down slow
