Somebody's down, somebody's name
I saw it all happen, take place
At my window, I was looking down
I had no time, just time to say
"Hold on, I'm coming"
And he was lying there, and it was, it was all just too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
I saw her fall and it all take place
At my window, I was looking down
I could see people, heard the people saying
"Hold on, I'm coming"
It's moved on now, and it all passed, and it's all too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
I saw it all with my own eyes
I saw it all as clear as day
Clear as blue, blue fucking daylight, it was saying
"Hold on, I'm coming"
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Somebody's down, somebody's name
"Hold on, no more
Hold on, no more
Hold on, I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late"
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Pushing up daisies out of the ground
Thought I heard him call her name
By the time he hit the ground
Another day, another town
Another body on the ground
By the time the sky was grey
Nobody down, nobody came, saying
"Oh lord, no more
Oh lord, no more
Oh lord, I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late"
