Going Down Lyrics by Will Swenson, ‘Hair’ Tribe

Hair (The New Broadway Cast Recording)

2009

[BERGER]
Me and Lucifer
Lucifer and me
Just like the angel that fell
Banished forever to Hell
Today have I been expelled
From high school heaven

Elevator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down

This is my doom
My humiliation
October, not June
And it's summer vacation
Such a disgrace
How can I face the nation?
Why should this pain
Bring me such strange elation?

[BERGER & TRIBE]
Escalator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down

[BERGER]
Emancipation proclamation
Oh Dr. Lincoln
My head needs shrinkin'
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lucifer and me
Doomed from here to eternity
Baaa baaa baaa

[BERGER & TRIBE]
Going up, going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going up
Going down
Going

[BERGER & (TRIBE)]
Down down, everybody going
(Down down, everybody going)
Down down down, whoa
(Down down, everybody going)

Forgive me if I don't cry
(Down down, everybody going)
It's like the Fourth of July
(Down down, everybody going)
Thank God that angels can fly
(Down down, everybody going)

[BERGER & TRIBE]
Down down down
Going down down down
Going down down down
Going down
