Mark Lanegan › Lyrics › Can't Come Down

Don't give a damn for money
Never did I give a damn for gold
Tell me little doll, talk some sweet nothing
A river runs deep and cold

Don't know why but it keeps running
Don't know why I can't come down

Moses has stood on the mountain
Devil made it thunder and rain
Girl, I ain't afraid of temptation
No, I ain't afraid of some pain

Watchin' little doll she just come runnin'
Running straight away
Straight to me I got sweet nothing
And only myself to blame

I don't know why I just keep running
Don't know why I can't come down

Walk, don't you walk on me
Don't you step, don't you step on me
Don't you walk, don't walk on me
Don't you step on me

Don't have no thing for money
Got no jones for gold
All I got today is some sweet nothing
Nothing to take away

Don't know why I just keep running
Don't know why I can't come down
Don't know why somebody
Somebody hears today

Don't know why, sweet nothing
Nothing to take away

No, I ain't afraid of temptation
No, ain't afraid of some pain
No, I ain't afraid of some pain

Somebody, somebody
Somebody, can't come down
Somebody, can't come down
Can't come down

Somebody, can't come down
Can't come down
Can't come down
Don't know why I can't come down
[Incomprehensible]
