Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black fingernails
Red wine
I wanna make you
All mine
[Verse 2]
A lot of people
Underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down
Straight down
[Verse 3]
There's a culture
Everywhere
Smoke clouds
Hang in the air
It's so loud
Can't hear you talk
You and I
Should take a walk downtown
[PreChorus]
Straight down
Downtown
Straight down
[Chorus]
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
[Chorus]
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down
[Verse 4]
Red letter day
Black heart
It's gonna tear you
All apart
[Verse 5]
So loud
Can't hear you call
You and I
Are gonna fall straight down
[PreChorus]
Straight down
Downtown
Straight down
[Chorus]
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
[Chorus]
Argument over all continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
[Chorus]
Straight down
Straight down
Straight down
[Verse 6]
Black fingernails
Red wine
I wanna make you
All mine
[Verse 7]
A lot of people
Underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down
[Chorus]
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
[Chorus]
Argument over all continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
[Outro]
Straight down
Straight down
Straight down
