lyrics

Pretty Ty, he says to me
that down here in DC
we only smoke these
it was PCP
but he did not tell me
i got lost on Potomac St.
in what he said to me

i'm going down
i'm going down
i'm going down down down to the canal.

so you can stop and stare
i don't really care
i'm not really there
just some bones in some clothes i wear
so when you stop and stare
i would shoot Voltaire
if i even cared

i'm going down
i'm going down
i'm going down down down to the canal.

what was that thing
what was that thing
that we used to have?

if i could remember
i'm singin', if only i could remember
i think i could get it back.

but i'm going down.
i'm going down.
i'm going down down to the canal.
