Riding you to the bottom

Wow. I keep discovering bands who write amazing lyrics out of the blue. The latest surprise is Soundgarden. Here's my favorite:

"Mailman" by Soundgarden

Hello don't you know me

I'm the dirt beneath your feet

The most important fool you forgot to see

I've seen how you give it

Now I want to receive

I know that you 

Would do the same for me

 
I'm know I'm headed for the bottom

But I'm riding you all the way

 
For all of your kisses turned

To spit in my face

For all that reminds me

Which is my place

For all of the times when

You made me disappear

This time I'm sure you will

Know that I'm here

 
I'm know I'm headed for the bottom

But I'm riding you all the way

 
My place was beneath you

But now I'm above

And now I send you a message

Of love

A simple remind of what

You won't see

A future so holy without me

 
I'm know I'm headed for the bottom

But I'm riding you all the way
