[00:00.50] The Pretty Reckless - Goin' Down
[00:01.00]
[00:20.32] Hey there Father, I don't wanna bother you
[00:23.37] But I've got a sin to confess
[00:26.20] I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean
[00:29.57] Do you mind if I take off my dress?
[00:33.05] Don't know where to start, let me get to the good parts
[00:36.00] Might wanna cross up your legs
[00:39.09] I've got envy, I've got greed, anything that you need
[00:38.57] And I'm not above having to beg
[00:41.58]
[00:42.49] There was this boy who
[00:45.61] Tore my heart in two
[00:48.03] I had to lay him
[00:50.48] Eight feet underground
[00:55.69]
[00:55.96] I need someone to save me
[00:59.16] 'Cause I am goin' down
[01:07.28] And what I need is someone to save me
[01:12.34] 'Cause I am goin' down
[01:17.49] All the way down
[01:20.73]
[01:25.07] Well hey there Father, there is just one other thing
[01:28.15] I have a simple request
[01:31.15] I hear you know God, could you give him a nod
[01:33.94] In my direction, I'd be in your debt
[01:37.38] Perhaps there is something that we could work out
[01:40.18] I notice your breathing is starting to change
[01:43.62] We could go in the back behind all these shacks
[01:46.38] And these bibles and get out of this cage
[01:49.49]
[01:50.18] There was this boy who
[01:53.48] Tore my heart in two
[01:56.43] I had to lay him
[01:58.92] Eight feet underground
[02:02.76]
[02:02.95] I need someone to save me
[02:07.79] 'Cause I am goin' down
[02:14.73] And what I need is someone to save me
[02:20.08] 'Cause I am goin' down
[02:25.07] All the way down
[02:27.04]
[02:30.25] I didn't wanna do it Father
[02:31.82] But I caught him with another woman
[02:32.94] In the bed I made
[02:34.43] And so I put him in a grave
[02:35.97] And now there's no one left around
[02:37.49] To get me off when I wanted to drag
[02:39.73]
[02:42.08] The next day on the television
[02:43.68] They identified him by the circumcision
[02:45.15] That I made and now I'm on the run but wait
[02:47.36] Why did I have to go and kill him
[02:49.37] When he was the best I ever had?
[02:54.07]
[02:54.43] All I need is someone to save me
[03:00.13] 'Cause I am goin' down
[03:07.20] What I need is something to save me
[03:12.31] 'Cause God I'm goin' down
[03:17.36] All the way down
[03:19.18]
[03:21.13] I'm goïng down
[03:24.16] All the way down
[03:25.59]
