Lyrics Lloyd Cole – When I Came Down From The Mountain
Text:
The air was heavy with a whore’s perfume
When I came down from the mountain
Our sleepy hollow was fetid lagoon
When I, I came down from the mountain
The tablets were heavy sure, but I’m stronger now
And I’m free
Free of all base instinct
My head was dizzy from the lofty ideas
When I came down from the mountain
My wife was very, very beautiful
And gone
How am I going to live down here
How am I going to make things right
Who am I going to be
How am I going to live
How am I going to live
I shaved my head, I put on the robes
Attended to the sacred garden
I worked in silence until I was clean
And then I, I came down from the mountain
How long she waited
Before breaking down to break free
How am I going to live down here
How am I going to make things right
How am I going to live
Who am I going to be
Who
The air was heavy with a whore’s perfume
Our sleepy hollow was fetid lagoon
The tablets were heavy, sure but I’m stronger now
How am I going to live down here
How am I going to make things right
Who am I going to be
How am I going to live
How am I going to live
