I feel myself descending
The way I often do
I get the feeling that there's no ending
When I can't afford to lose
So, let me pass them by
Don't try to state your case
I've had my fill of trials
And I will be on my way
Just don't leave town
When you're down, down, down
Just don't give up
On the place you've grown to love
'Cause when you turn your back
Bad feelings attack
Come on, now, we know
My hands been played out
With city lights tonight
These stars just fade out
I need to stretch my legs
I need to start running
I feel it close, I feel
A breakdown coming
Just don't leave town
When you're down, down, down
Just don't give up
On the place you've grown to love
'Cause when you start to pack
Bad feelings attack
