The Bottom

Lyrics: Waylon Payne Music: Waylon Payne Elevator operator Look at me and smile a weary smile You know my face could easily decieve The wisest of them all And you said are you going to the penthouse Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel doors He just smiled and softly told me no I'm going to the bottom I'm going all the way down To the bottom So turn the music up real high And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow No need to worry about tomorrow Because you're not here I'm going all the way down To the bottom Rainy streets Wet memory Find a place inside to pass the time The doug serves up my brandy and I drink it Pray your picture fades You dressed in black You turned your back On the only heart that ever loved you so The bells rang on the day you died I'm heading to the bottom I'm going all the way down To the bottom So turn the music up real high And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow No need to worry about tomorrow Because you're not here I'm going all the way down To the bottom I'm going all the way down All the way down I'm going all the way down To the bottom
