Down in a Barrel

Like a paratrooper

Jumping into the fray

Or a pesky insect

That’s only alive for one day

You don’t need anyone

To grab your face and say

That you only have one life to live

Now why would you chance that away

Standing by the river bank

You left the strait and narrow

You had a quiver but

You’ve broken your last arrow

Your life’s ambition was

To suck out all the marrow

But you’re going down

You’re going down

You’re going down in a barrel

Those jagged rocks below

Will keep you on the level

So much you chose the fate

The fate of the daredevil

Thrills are a fleeting thing

A fleeting thing and how

But you’re going down

You’re going down

You’re going down right now!
