I’m Down

I'm Down - Jack White
I'm down
I'm down and this town is a nuisance
It put my backbone all in a ruin
And with the area code of a truant
I'm fluent in the hazards of love
Yeah listen
I fed a warrant to a billy goat
I fixed the spelling on a suicide note
I get well card from my holy ghost
To a beggar who smells like a rose
I'm down
I'm down and I fell like a loner
There's a skyscraper city below her
I wanna feed my heart to a cobra
'Cause nothing ever happens to me
Alright
Like a blessing disguised as a curse
Like a sermon that's runs out of words
Like a cage that can't keep any birds
I can't keep my arms around you
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down and this town is a backdrop
A back road over a roadblock
With a debutante in a tank top
Who's teaching me how to be free
Oh look
Like a prayer in a personal ad
Like a knife in a broken back
Learn to love what you can't get rid of
Before it gets rid of you
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
