lyrics

CHARLIE COMING DOWN - lyrics by Benjamin Russell

He felt like Charlie coming down
From on high toward the ground
Going back to being stupid
But unhappy now he knew it
Knowing just how far he'd seen
But already losing memory
Aware that he was more no more

Charlie coming down
from on high toward the ground
Addicted to the highs, was he unwise
To try to rise

Fear of falling kept him from the height
But at night he dreamed of precipice
Mountain top and cliff
He fell, and fell, and fell
Until he learned to fly

Charlie coming down

Fear of failing kept him on the ground
Until he learned to fly

Charlie coming down

Until he learns to fly

Charlie coming down
