[Chorus]

I was just getting used

To having you ’round

You went wandering

Around the world

I woke up

I went downtown

I woke up and everything was drowning

Downtown


[Verse]

Little Comet

That’s the name we gave him

Has been trying

But he doesn’t see why

Mary Jane from down the lane went insane

Oh she’s still better off than I am

Downtown


[Bridge]

Held a candle to the window

Then the door

Saw the features of the world light up

Oh Eva, your face

I was a four-leaf clover

I was Red Rover on his way over to your place


[Chorus]

I was just getting used

To having you ’round

You went wandering

Around the world

I woke up

I went downtown

I woke up

And everything was drowning
