When I Came Down from the Mountain

[Verse 1]
The air was heavy with a whore's perfume
When  I came down from the mountain
Our  sleepy hollow was a fetid lagoon
When I, I came down from the mountain
The tablets were heavy sure, but I'm stronger now
And  I'm free
Free  of all base instinct

[Verse 2]
My head was dizzy from the lofty ideas
When  I came down from the mountain
My wife was very, very beautiful
And gone

[Chorus]
How am I going to live down here?
How  am I going to make things right?
Who am I going to be?
How am I going to live?
How am I going to live?

[Verse 3]
I shaved my head, I put on the robes
Attended to the sacred garden
I worked in silence until I was clean
And then I, I came down from the mountain
How long she waited
Before breaking down to break free

[Chorus]
How am I going to live down here?
How am I going to make things right?
How am I going to live?
Who am I going to be?
Who?

[Bridge]
The air was heavy with a whore's perfume
Our sleepy hollow was a fetid lagoon
The tablets were heavy, sure but I'm stronger now

[Chorus]
How am I going to live down here?
How am I going to make things right?
Who am I going to be?
How am I going to live?
How am I going to live?
