Never Look Down Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

The earth is spinning faster now, I think I feel a breeze
Pages fall from calendars and scatter like the leaves
Even the best of times can be the hardest times, flavored bittersweet
And trying not to fall′s as hard as getting to your feet
In the meantime, nothing stops and nothing slows down
Wiggle on a slack rope with the grace and poise of a clown
A boy watches his father build a castle on the beach
Just beyond the tide line, safe and out of reach
Carefully constructed for a child that feels no guilt
And he's tearing down the walls his daddy built
In the meantime, nothing stops and nothing slows down
Walking on a tight rope, looking out but you never look down
No, you never look down
Yeah, you never look down
Oh, you never look down


Hey, you never look down
I read the signs along the highway with my left foot on the brake
Imagining catastrophes trying to keep myself awake
But there′s this contract with the
Highway and I've signed the dotted line
And it summons me beyond these Texas pines
In the meantime, nothing stops and nothing slows down
Walking on a tight rope, looking out but you never look down
Looking out but you never look down
Looking out but you never look, never look down
Hey, you never look down
Hey, you never look down
No, you never look down
No, you never look down
No, you never look down
