Portugal. The Man - The Bottom Lyrics

How high soldiers pull boys in the rain
Ground to their toes
Ground to the dirt
Oh my, they spilled down the steps filed in rows
Like hair likes to pour
Like skin loves to war

But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
Because it's safe at the bottom

Wind down to the beds of the leaves bedding of sand
Where fire don't burn (but the tops of trees)
Out, out of the head streams a maze
Of colors and shapes
That dance from these walls

But trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around
Because it's safe at the bottom

I know what I, what I know
And all I ever need is you
I know what I, what I know
And all I ever need is you
And all I ever need is you

Down, down in the sand lives alone in shackles and bone
Meat, blood from grown gravel and stone

But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
Because it's safe at the bottom

Calm, but never finds rest in these bones for what we don't know
For all that we know it's all that we've known

But trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around
Because it's safe at the bottom

I know what I, what I know (I know what I know)
And all I ever need is you (is all I ever need is you)
I know what I, what I know (I know what I know)
And all I ever need is you (is all I ever need is you)

I know what I, what I know (I know what I know)
And all I ever need is you (is all I ever need is you)
I know what I, what I know
And all I ever need is you
And all I ever need is you

But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
Because it's safe at the bottom

I know what I, what I know (I know what I know)
And all I ever need is you (is all I ever need is you)
I know what I, what I know (I know what I know)
And all I ever need is you (is all I ever need is you)

I know what I, what I know (I know what I know)
And all I ever need is you (is all I ever need is you)
I know what I, what I know (I know what I know is all I ever need)
And all I ever need is you
