Why don't you come down

(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)

You climbed a ladder that I built
And tossed out guilt
Why don't you come down
Why don't you come down

You're holdin' drugs you didn't buy
They're not yours to try
Why don't you come down
Why don't you come down

You're just borrowing the sky
But you're the owner of the lie

The tittle doesn't suit you well
But I won't tell
Why don't you come down
Why don't you come down

The star you wished upon no doubt
Will soon burn out
Why don't you come down
Why don't you come down

You've spread out your pretty wings
But the ugly truth still rings

I gotta say that I'm impressed
While fighting through the pain
You gotta be real fast
To jump aboard a movin' train
You make a lot of noise up there
You're wakin' up the town
If you knew the thoughts that they all share
Then you just might come down

You're just borrowing the sky
But you're the owner of the lie
