Portugal. The Man Lyrics

10. The Bottom

How High. Soldiers pull boys through rain 
ground to their toes ground to the dirt 
(oh) my. They spilled down the steps 
filed in rows like hair likes to pour 
like skin loves to warm 
but teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around 
.... because it's safe at the bottom.... 
Wind down to the beds of the leaves 
bedding of sand where fire don't burn (but the tops of trees) 
Out, out of the head streams a maze 
of colors and shapes that dance from these walls 
but trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around 
.... we know it's safe at the bottom.... 
I know what I know, and all I ever need is you 
Down, down in the sand lives alone 
in shackles and bone meat blood from grown gravel and stone 
but teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around 
.... because it's safe at the bottom.... 
Calm but never finds rest these bones 
for what we don't know for all that we know 
It's all that we've known 
but trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around 
.... we know it's safe at the bottom.... 
I know what I know, and all I ever need is you
