"Everybody Went Low"


Well the prize was right there underneath our eyeballs
And when it all came down we were looking for the pitfalls
Until Junie said babe better get yourself to going
We were so far gone we had no way of knowing
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
She was pretty as a junebug jumpy as a nerve end
When she pulled the rug out my tires started swerving
I was driving through the living room driving through the basement
Looking for the lowest spot in the pavement
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Nothing there to live up to
There's no place further down
Turn it off or turn around

While I was coming up for air I heard somebody breathing
It was Juniebug praying harder than a heathen
She was smiling like the soul survivor in a lifeboat
Said if I jump in Junie you think this thing will still float
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Repeat
