It sat beside his bed
As near as it could go
He read it every night
Just before he'd go

Asleep for the night
With his dreams it'd fight
God save his soul
His mom would say to him
"Don't be afraid son;
There's no way you'll go"

All the way down
All the way down
All the way down
All the way down

His mom would tell him
"Read it and you'll be alright"
He took its every word and made it his life

All the way down
All the way down
All the way down
All the way down

He never stood a chance with
His coughing that night
He never thought he'd ever
Make it out of the light now
