Partial Lyrics:<br /><br />When I Went Down to the Darkness<br /><br />When I went down to the darkness and hissing<br />It was because she said her sister was missing<br />She had been hanging out with some who were suspicious<br />I didn’t like the crowd that surrounded her<br />I’m judging the story trying to find if it’s fictitious<br /><br />I didn’t trust the look in her eyes<br />But I didn’t know enough to chastise<br />So I artificially bumped up the price<br />To see if she was completely serious<br />No one pulling a scam would make such a sacrifice<br /><br />She must have seen me lick my lips<br />When she pulled out the bills from their clips<br />She broke my train of thought of what I would buy<br />By asking if she could trust me to find her<br />Only after I assured her would she say goodbye<br /><br />When I went down to the darkness and the street<br />I didn’t see any men out in the heat<br />The women cops mugged in my direction<br />I waved at them and tipped my hat<br />They acted like they didn’t understand the deflection<br /><br />A burnout was spinning a glass bottle<br />While the drivers fought to hit the throttle<br />A fight broke out in front of the path<br />Of the club where they sold the town’s junk<br />The broken people outside showed the aftermath<br /><br />She dragged me into the darkness of the underground shoot<br />I realized what was the problem’s root<br />When I confronted the producer she said<br />It’s not our problem if people move here<br />Only not to make it anywhere but someone’s bed<br /><br />The corrupt politicians didn’t like the shape of my nose<br />But that is just always how this goes<br />I got a few that said cease and desist<br />That’s how you know you’ve got ‘em in a corner<br />That’s when the women cops brought down the fist<br /><br />When I went down to the darkness of the jail<br />They told me I would certainly fail<br />They hit me with all their hoses and wires<br />Tied the noose around my neck and<br />Threatened me with what the gas chamber requires<br /><br />I tried to give my side of the story<br />We don’t like that one in our territory<br />They told me and was denied a defender<br />As they laughed at all my rights<br />They said by the end I’d be in a blender<br /><br />I went to the cinema when I was let out<br />I was rubbing all the bruises starting to sprout<br />The two goons in front turned back to look<br />At me as the previews were starting<br />I started to write them in my black book<br /><br />But they both got up and pointed their hands<br />As if they were guns giving scans<br />I stayed in my seat to see the sister<br />And her film on the big screen<br />The audio came in as on a transistor<br /><br />The picture flickered and shook<br />The plot was missing but I was to overlook<br />As I stared intently at the visible frown<br />That the star wore so wearingly on her face<br />As she began to drop for all her gown<br /><br />I was too disgusted to stay for the ending<br />In the world all faces were blending<br />My hands were in my pocket without a clue<br />Of who or what to do for my next move<br />The interest on the junk was starting to accrue<br /><br />I saw a girl huddled up in a coat<br />And I realized I’d seen her promote<br />The film of the girl in the previews<br />I knew I’d have to question her<br />But she wouldn’t budge without any booze<br /><br />
