Lyrics   status: confirmed

It started the top
Now it's spirallin' down
Works best when it's lost
Diggin' underground

Never mind it now
We can bring it back
It's total trash
And it's a natural fact that I'm not no cow

It's never the same
It's more than a game
Can't take it away
Can't kill out the shame

It's a guilty man
That can grease the crack
It's total trash
Slap him on the back with a heavy rock

There it goes again
Magic monkey friend
God I love the time
That he seemed to spend
With all the kids in town

It started the top
Now it's spirallin' down
Works best when it's lost
Diggin' underground

Never mind it now
We can bring it back
It's total trash
And it's a natural fact that I'm not no cow

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

• On "Daydream Nation" deluxe disc - LIVE - 5:15

  Recorded live on 06/09/88 in Hoboken, NJ.
