Comedown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place?
No one knows, never will
Mostly me, but mostly you
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need again
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

[Verse 2]
There is no blame, only shame
When you beg, you just complain
The more I come, the more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I, so's the future
So are you, be a creature
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down

See Bush Live

Get tickets as low as $17

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need again
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

[Post-Chorus]
Shoot up
Shoot up
Shoot up
You're high

[Verse 3]
Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place?
No one knows, never will
Mostly me, but mostly you
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need again
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

[Refrain]
Why did you? Why did you?
Why did you? Why did you?
Why did you? Why did you?
Why did you? Why did you?

[Outro]
Come down
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
This cloud, this cloud
This cloud, this cloud
This cloud, this cloud
This cloud, this cloud
