I Fell Down a Well, They Threw Down a Boat

V4.5

(intro) Battered down, in tatters now, with less skin now than scars. Wanderin’ and tumblin’, I stumble in the dark. (verse) Navigating with no star, no map, no compass is the kind of thing you might see from a total dumbass. All my friends they would agree. I’m not known for the greatest choices. Their advice to me a din of shouting, drowning voices. (pre-chorus) Now in a step I’m falling through a hole. My descent then ended with a soaking crash. (chorus) I fell down a well, barely kept afloat. Startled and wet as I’m screaming out for help. I fell down a well, they threw down a boat. It’s something I concede, but not exactly what I need. (verse) Finally got some me time in this deep, dark well I’m trapped in. Think my ship can’t sink much further now, plus I’m a captain! With bad advice from friends like these, you’d think I’d be much sadder. I just hope the next well victim falls down with a ladder. (chorus) I fell down a well, barely kept afloat. Startled and wet as I’m screaming out for help. I fell down a well, they threw down a boat. I need their advice like the Titanic needed ice. (chorus) I fell down a well, they threw down a boat. Wishing for a rope, instead it’s well wishes and hope. I fell down a well, they threw down a boat. I was lost figuratively, and now I’m really lost at sea.
