Don't Look Down Lyrics

Robyn Hitchcock Don't Look Down

Ohhh, mum is the word
Numb is a better word
Or haven't you heard?

Luke the Drifter and me
Who wrote us a song
Too lonesome to sing

Not on this side of the dial
Not on this short wave

Buster Keaton and I
Danced down on the windowsill
Ten stores high

If one night you get to walking
Way up off the ground
Do yourself a favor
Don't look down

I keep falling back to earth
Just as I am floating high

Luke the Drifter and me
Thumbed us a ride
Down the highway of dreams

Once you're out beyond the city
This old road gets dark
Lose your bearings
And forget where you are

I keep falling back to earth
Just as I am floating high
Very high high high
