Down Below Letra

They'd grab what they could throw
They would start right after light
It would go through half the night
Why so, I didn't know
But that was half the show

One day I'm sitting home
She was out front in just her robe
I thought I caught her eye
I wasn't sure
The day was going slow
So I went down to say "hello"
She said she could talk a while but then I'd have to go

She had to walk the streets
So she could smoke and drink and eat
If she didn't have the dough
She didn't have a home

The drinks began to flow
She moved over right up close
Then we heard the phone
She said, "Shit, you gotta go, he's coming home"

That night it woke me up
I saw the cherries popping off
Somebody'd called a squad
I had to know
They said he came out of nowhere
And he'd found that I'd been there
He spread her face around the place and then he run
Now she's done

It was down below
They were down below
