Comin' Down - Meat Puppets

Coming down from the mountain

I have seen the high and mighty

I will go again someday

But for now I’m coming down

Coming down from the mountain

I have seen the lofty glory

I will go again someday

But for now I’m coming down

I have seen their information

On the lighter side of dumbness

I have heard the new statistics

And the stomping on the ground

Picking slowly up the rockslide

One thing always seems apparent

If the climb becomes too much

I can always turn around

Waking up from my slumber

To misunderstand another

Though they call it terra firma

It dissolves beneath my feet

Looking through a pile of garbage

For some worthless piece of paper

That’s been hidden there for me To give meaning to my day

Going down to the desert

To the dirty filthy desert

I’ll be crawling through the sand

For at least a couple days

Going down to the desert

Ther are things owrth avoiding

And it always makes me cross

When those things get in my way.

Coming down from the mountain

I have seen the high and mighty

I will go again someday

But for now I’m coming down

Coming down from the mountain

I have seen the lofty glory

I will go again someday

But for now I’m coming down
