Songtext Down the sink King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Down the sink

On the street, people make things happen
Concrete, buildings creep the skyline
People meet, by the subway station
Feel the heat, on the sidewalk baby

Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basin

Down the sink
Back and forth, follow the stream, the city is bleak, forget all your dreams
Down your hole
You can't defeat whatever it is
You can't defeat the pull of the stream
You fall in the dream, spinning around
Again and again, again and again

Once you're in
Forget every place you've ever been
The city is dark, you'll never be clean
Bow your head
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people die
On the beat, cops patrol the alley
People cheat, one another for some
Hanging meat, in the butcher's window
Bittersweet stench from in the gutter

Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin

Down the sink
Back and forth, follow the stream, the city is bleak, forget all your dreams
Down your hole
You can't defeat whatever it is
You can't defeat the part of the stream
You fall in the dream, spinning around
Again and again, again and again

Once you're in
Forget every place you've ever been
The city is dark, you'll never be clean
Bow your head
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people die

Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin

Down the sink
Down the sink
Down the sink
Down the sink
