[Verse 1: Flea, (Perry Farrell)]

I tumbled into space

Tried to stop the fall

My body ripped and tore

I could have floated in space

(Could have floated)

I stumbled 'round my home

I am on the outside

My legs and arms are lead

Feeling love from no one

(Could have floated)

[Chorus: Flea]

My head weighs ninety pounds

And I've been down

My friends are aliens

And I've been down

[Verse 2: Flea, (Perry Farrell)]

Well now, I've got no wife

Cut a lizard's tail, it grows back to life

I killed some sleepless nights

My heart's torn to pieces

(Could have floated)

I am the funny guy

Yeah, I've been down

I am the big rock star

Yeah, I've been down

[Bridge: Flea]

I'll never be the same, 'cause I've been inside out

And I want to be an animal, and take care of my young

[Chorus: Flea]

My head weighs ninety pounds

And I've been down

My friends are alien

And I've been down

[Outro: Flea]

I know what it's like

'Cause I've been down (Down...)

Devil sneaks in and deals

And I've been down (Down... far, far, far...!)
