Down Not Out

I wrapped a cloak round my bones and my wings,

Tied it fast and close,

Crept in the crocodile infested shallows,

I swam and I swam and I swam.

I held the crowd in the palm of my hand

(Came from far and wide),

I fell from the stage when the power went down

And I laughed and I laughed.

Send out the smoke signals,

Block out the sun,

Set fire to the open door,

I'm down not out.

I'm down not out.

I sank to me knees in the breath of the storm,

Bees flew in their hive,

Temples of saving wither and crumble,

I was and I was and I was.

Send out the smoke signals,

Block out the sun,

Set fire to the open door,

I'm down not out.

I'm down not out.

I'm down not out.

Send out the smoke signals,

Block out the sun,

Set fire to the open door,

I'm down not out.

I'm down not out.

I'm down not out.
