Written in April 1999 in Austin, Texas
Well here I go down this jaded road
Of which there’s no going back
She tempted me with fortunes untold
Just to see how I’d react
Oh yeah, I was so naive
You could say I was a fool
I saw her yesterday walking towards me
I couldn’t think of what to do
I thought of walking on by
While she’s taking her time
Just a walking through my mind
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to the bottom tonight
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to the bottom tonight
Subtle beat and a rhythm of the street
I kinda like the way it moves
Concrete.
Complete.
Our conversation’s nothing new
Well here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes along the way
And I know
I know
That she knows how to get to me
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to the bottom tonight
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Because the bottom’s alright, if you can make it hold tight
The bottom’s alright, if you can make it hold tight
The bottom’s alright, if you can make it,
I’ll see you there tonight
Yeah, I’m walking on by
While she’s taking her time
Just a walking through my mind
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to the bottom tonight
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to the bottom tonight
Because the bottom’s alright, if you can make it hold tight
The bottom’s alright, if you can make it hold tight
The bottom’s alright, if you can make it,
I’ll see you there tonight
