I'm dark like Caravaggio
When I smile you wouldn't know
That shadows are a place I love to hide

A drunk like Buk in Hollywood
Because I think I am no good
Reflections in this glass are all I have inside so...

Come down to my level
It's so depressed around here
Come down to my level
If you don’t mind
Come down to my level
It's so low around here
Come down to my level
If you don’t mind

You can try to bring me up
If I remember how to climb
You can try to bring me up
We might both enjoy the ride

I’m mad like Vincent yes it’s true
But not as bad when I’m with you
You pull me back from cornfields all the time

A Verlaine to my young Rimbaud
Perhaps is what you need to know
I’d fall into your opium and wine

Come down to my level
It's so depressed around here
Come down to my level
If you don’t mind
Come down to my level
It's so low around here
Come down to my level
If you don’t mind

I am not trying to brag
I find whole thing quite a drag
Now I hear it's the new fad
Let's get together and be sad

I'm dark like Caravaggio
When I smile you wouldn't know
That shadows are a place I love to hide
