Follow You Down
--------------------

Chase your wet dream across town
It's a sick race you run
Singing follow me down
But she's already won

When your feet hit the ground
Can you tell what's been done
Just one shot in the dark
And you fumbled it, son

And that cupid shot back
To the heart, worthless arrow
In a silent attack
Caught off the straight and narrow
Yeah, you wanted her back
And it rings through the air
But there's nobody there
There's nobody there

On your back
On the floorboards you lie
Saint Sebastian's arm strains
To cover your eyes

Black stains on a desktop
In answer to why
But responsible minds have stopped asking

Why that cupid shot back
To the heart, worthless arrow
And that panic attack
Cuts deep into the marrow
And why you needed her back
Her perfume still in the air
But there's nobody there
There's nobody there

To follow you down
To follow you down
To follow you down
