Alone Down There Lyrics

Modest Mouse

How do, how do you do?
My name is you
Flies, they all gather round me and you too
You cant see anything well
You ask me what size it is, not what I sell
The flies they all gather round me and you too
Well I dont want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there to be alone
Well the devils apprentice, he gave me some credit
He fed me a line, and Ill probably regret it
I dont want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there to be alone
