Songtext Way down under Little Feat

Way down under

(Bill Payne/Robert Hunter)

Have you ever gone down under
Way down beneath the liquid thunder
Under the blue-black rolling sea
With a broken heart in revery?

Gone so deep you can't remember
Come sweet July or deep December
The first, the last, only one
Time herself with a sawed off shotgun

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Sometimes you make me wonder
What does anything really mean?

Sing your song as long as you can
Top of your lungs let the rest be dammed
It's time to find out on your own
Where you chihuahua buried his bone

Try to remember - do your best
Was it in the east or in the west
Where the sun rose or where it set?
Follow you shadow to where we met

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Sometimes you make me wonder
What does anything really mean?

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Sometimes you make me wonder
Go ahead and take a whirl but don't step out of the magic circle
'less you can find your own way back
Sense of direction is all you lack

Knock knock knock don't knock own the door
Love is enough we - don't need no more
Tragedy comes - tragedy goes
You're soaking wet - go change your clothes

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Sometimes you make me wonder
What does anything really mean?

Jam down the throttle all the way
To seventh heaven by break of day
From city of blood and brick and back again like a parlor trick

Maybe it matters - maybe not
What will you give for all that you got?
Way down under where deep runs red
Never take back one word you said
