  • Paint me your picture and hang it on the wall
    Color it darkly, the lines will start to crawl
    Down... down... down
    Spin me around and around...

    Draw me away to the night from the day, leave not a trace to be found...
    Down... down...
    Nothing is real but the way that I feel and I feel like going -
    Down, down down, down down, down down,

    Down down, down, down, down
    Paint me a picture of eyes that never see
    Flashes of lightning that burn for only me...
    Hey, hey, hey - there's only the devil to pay...

    I'm ready to go, pull me down from below
    Give me a place I can lay
    Hey Hey - nothing is real but the way that I feel and I feel like going

    Down, down down, down down, down down,
    Down down, down, down, down...

    Nothing is real but the way that I feel and I feel like going -
    Nothing is real but the way that I feel and I feel like going
    Down, down down, down down, down down,
    Down down, down, down, down... Writer/s: RITCHIE BLACKMORE, RONNIE DIO
