Down to Earth

Maybe I did used to be born
Back in some other Earth
Said I’d take a few years down on Planet Earth
They said a ghost will have to take your memories away
You’ve gotta think it’s all you’ve got to really wanna stay
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to Earth
Take me down, take me down
I think I’ll stay a while, and get my money’s worth
Maybe it’s a boot camp of some sort
And we’re all here to train
Getting ready for the real thing
It’s just a game
We’re all trying to get better all the time
Till we’re good enough for the first team
That’s when we die
Take me down, take me down
Won’t you pick me for the team?
Take me down, take me down
Aren’t I the best thing you’ve ever seen?
Maybe God created all of this in seven days
With his infinite wisdom, and mysterious ways
He says someone’s got to do it, and I don’t see anybody else
He said this universe ain’t gonna make itself
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to Earth
Take me down, take me down
I’ma gonna stay a while and get my money’s worth
Maybe it did make itself from some big old Bang
When from nowhere, suddenly it sprang
And it’s just trying to spread itself out really wide
So it can see exactly what it’s got inside
Take me down, take me down
Now give me a good song to sing
Take me down, take me down
In case I’m wondering who’s driving this thing
Maybe I’m driving
Maybe I’m at the wheel
And I decide what I wanna see, and how I wanna feel
Then there’s no one, no one to blame
When the shit hits the fan, I just wanna shout somebody’s name
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to Earth
Take me down, take me down
I’ma gonna stay a while and get my money’s worth
Take me down, take me down
Now give me a good song to sing
Take me down, take me down
In case I’m wondering who’s driving this thing
