Bow Down Lyrics - Go-betweens

You opened my mail out at the seams 

Now you know I live beyond my means 

Beneath my bed there's gold in the earth 

Above the price that gold is now worth 

Never to bow down 

Don't you ever slow down 

You live with a prince, you live with a cape 

You see things my memoirs just won't say 

Don't be so down, don't be so sad 

Start counting bodies we'll both go half mad 

Never to bow down 

Don't you ever slow down 

Break it to me gently, speak in our code 

We're show people, speak in our code 

Bad news I'll leave, bad news I'll grieve 

Good and bad, baby I'll leave 

Never to bow down 

Don't you ever slow down 

I left the house with all the lights on 

You see the lights nothing is wrong 

The television works and the telephone rings 

And late at night all good children they sing 

Never to bow down 

Don't you ever slow down 

Never to bow down 

Don't you ever slow down 

Bow down too far, bow down no 

Bow down don't, don't you ever slow down 

Slow down, bow down, bow down, slow down 

Bow down, slow down, bow down, slow down
