How now you been kicking around Your head starts hammering and humming Stained glass are the crumbs of bread Champagne must’ve gone to your head Pretty red bow in your hair of golden I only drink brandy when the weather’s cold Cigarettes and the windows open Red wine by the wild roses Little bird flew in from the nighttime Fluttering above the candlelight A little while and I caught ahold But before I let her go she said, “Take some time in those crazy heights. From the clouds it’s a long way down.” It’s a race to the bottom a race to the bottom Get up to get down to prove that you got em Raven in the window and a witch in the woods Peppermint peaking through the soil and the soot Race to the bottom a race to the bottom Set em up Joe and smoke if you got em One by one they give up the ghost You can see it in the stars and the circle of crows Light up from across the table I offer you a cigarette you’ve given up Wild wind blowing from the windows Hear the heavenly howls crescendo “Take some time in those crazy heights. From the clouds it’s a long way down.” It’s a race to the bottom a race to the bottom Get up to get down to prove that you got em Raven in the window and a witch in the woods Peppermint peaking through the soil and the soot Race to the bottom a race to the bottom Set em up Joe and smoke if you got em One by one they give up the ghost You can see it in the stars and the circle of crows
