Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well (Recorded in the Subway, New York) Songtext
von Mike Doughty

That Cuban girl
That brought me low
She had that skin so fine and red lips
Roselike now
Her mouth was wide
And sweet as well
And now relentless hours of
Dreaming up her smell, and

I feel
as if I′m looking at the world from the bottom of a well
I feel
as if I'm looking at the world from the bottom of a well


Lonely
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
beat it.
Lonely
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

as if I'm looking at the world from the bottom of a well

And the only way to beat it is to bat it down

I feel
as if I′m looking at the world from the bottom of a well
I feel
as if I'm looking at the world from the bottom of a well

Lonely
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
beat it.
Lonely
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
