Down to You - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Everythin' comes and goes

Marked by lovers and styles of clothes

Things that you held high and told yourself were true

Lost or changin' as the days come down to you

Down to you, constant stranger

You're a kind person, you're a cold person too

It's down to you

You go down to the pick up station

Cravin' warmth and beauty

You settle for less than fascination

A few drinks later you're not so choosy

When the closing lights strip off the shadows

On this strange new flesh you've found

Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf, you hurry

To the blackness and the blankets

To lay down an impression and your loneliness

In the morning there are lovers in the street, they look so high

You brush against a stranger and you both apologize

Old friends seem indifferent, you must have brought that on

Old bonds have broken down, love is gone

Ooh, love is gone, written on your spirit, this sad song

Love is gone

Everythin' comes and goes

Pleasure moves on too early and trouble leaves too slow

Just when you're thinkin' you've finally got it made

Bad news comes knockin' at your garden gate

Knockin' for you, constant stranger

You're a brute, you're an angel, you can crawl, you can fly too

It's down to you

It all comes down to you
