Lyrics

[Intro] Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah (Repeat) [Verse] Shook my head out of dreams Reality's calling The early bird's been up all morning But I've got no notion of moving from where I am [Verse] Though my legs won't move I feel disabled I'm on a shelf an article labeled Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found [Chorus] I'm down No one to hear me calling I'm down No one to see me falling I'm down [Verse] Had my ways With days of sunshine Life came easy it all fell in line But then again I didn't realise [Verse] When you're used to one thing It's hard to accept another Like the woman who brought you up Well she ain't your mother How do you cope with a thing like that [Chorus] I'm down No one to hear me calling I'm down No one to see me falling I'm down [Bridge] I always thought it was my dad who went to war Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago Someone went through pain to have me Someone I should know [part of Bridge or Postchorus???] I'm down I'm down [Verse] To the folks who brought me up I'm not ungrateful Kept the secret from me They thought it was shameful It hurt me so To be the last one to know [Verse] Maybe someone's out there Looking for me Left on their own Couldn't afford to clothe me And I I don't even know my real name [Chorus] I'm down No one to hear me calling I'm down No one to see me falling I'm down [Coda] I'm down I'm down I'm down
