Additional notes:

Said Isaac in an April 11, 2001 Rolling Stone article, "There's one song we're hopefully gonna put on the record that's in 6/8 time. It's called 'Down.' It's really swing. I don't think it would be a single necessarily, but it has a really cool, moving feel to it."

Lyrics:

V1
I thought I heard you making the coals
Underneath a lonely man's soles
Why can't you just let it all go
Then I start to go down

V2
I heard him say life is a joke
His life burnt like acidrain smoke
Why can't you love what you don't know
Then I start to go

C1
Down down down
Way too low
I start to go
Down down down
You can't pull up anymore
Once you've gone down

Down down down down

V3
I heard me say, what it's worth
You just get pain for all your life's work
I'll just crawl into my black hole
Then I, start to go

C2
Down down down
Way too low
I start to go down down down
You can't pull up anymore
Once you've gone down

Bridge
My Superman's all covered in rust
All of my dreams gone bust
This time I've fallen down,
Stuck in this rut
Maybe I'll try falling up
'Cause I've fallen far enough
I start to go

C3
Down down down
Way too low
I start to go down down down
I can't pull up anymore
I start to go down down down
You can't pull up anymore
Once you've gone down
