way down below

from eye of the storm by the garages

lyrics and lead vox: Erica backing vox: carly house phone (@worsterman) guitar and mixing: Sci-fi Boyfriend (sciencefictionboyfriend.bandcamp.com )

As I stand watch at the pearly gates
Don’t wanna push my luck don’t wanna try my fate
‘cause when the flood rolls in my sins’ll be washed away

And I know where my allegiance stands
Yeah I’m tried and true, I’m with the band
But these muddy waters have stirred up something new

Oh, Oh, from way down below (they come a-risin’ up)
Oh, Oh, are you friend or foe (don’t think we’ll ever know)

From deep down in the molten core
And beyond my sea town’s shining shores
From the depths of the dirt they all come crawlin’ in

And it’s no secret that Hades’ lot
Like to stir things up, like to come in hot
And that temptation’s their tactic through and through

Oh, Oh, from way down below (they come a-risin’ up)
Oh, Oh, are you friend or foe (don’t think we’ll ever know)

And I’ve always been a strong-willed gal
And I’d never thought that I’d be pulled down
But I’m feelin’ drawn to flute my faith away

Now the flood waters are risin’ high
It’s time to sink or swim, time to ride or die
I just dig my heels and let the water wash over me 

Oh, Oh, from way down below (they come a-risin’ up)
Oh, Oh, are you friend or foe (don’t think we’ll ever know)
Oh, Oh, from way down below (they come a-risin’ up)
Oh, Oh, are you friend or foe (don’t think we’ll ever know)
