Gracefully Facedown Lyrics

Verse
Lately things ain't been going my way
Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day
It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down
So I been making that all go round
Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind
Seems to work alright 'til closing time
But you know you're gonna come down every night
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
Ain't that hard to figure where to begin
It's Friday night so I'm rushing in
Like a fool I get it anywhere I can

Chorus
Well I've been having a hard time
Walking a straight line
Seeing two of every single neon sign
Well now you'll find me downtown
Gracefully face down
Just wishing I could feel alright

Verse
Well lately I've been wanderin around with eyes closed
It seems like I been heading down the wrong road
Thought I'd find my way by now
But I still got lost somehow
Y'hear shots fall down from Heaven above
You might lose a friend you might fall in love
But you know you're gonna come down every night
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
Six in the morning 'til your dying day
It's straight bad news and bills to pay
But come five o'clock you're feeling good again

Chorus
Well I've been having a hard time
Walking a straight line
Seeing two of every single neon sign
Well now you'll find me downtown
Gracefully face down
Just wishing I could feel alright

Verse
Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground
Sat up on the floor seems the room spin around
But when you squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle
Things really don't look so bad
You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 ounce bottle
Swig some bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em
But you know you're gonna come down every night
And there ain't no way you're ever gonna feel satisfied
There's years of my life I don't remember at all
Like one Friday evening I can barely recall
It was a sick situation in a bar room bathroom stall

Chorus
Well I've been having a hard time
Walking a straight line
Seeing two of every single neon sign
Well now you'll find me downtown
Gracefully face down
Just wishing I could feel alright

Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright
Yeah I been wishing I could feel alright

The Devil Makes Three is an Americana band from Santa Cruz, California, United States. The group blends bluegrass, old time, country, folk, blues, jazz, and ragtime music. The group's members are guitarist Pete Bernhard, upright bassist Lucia Turino, and guitarist and tenor banjo player Cooper McBean.

“The rhythm is what our band is about." Says Pete Bernhard: Guitarist, Front Man. The Devil Makes Three are quite possibly the best band that you have never heard of. They have been constantly on tour, selling out dates across the country and in their neck of the woods on the West Coast drawing near capacity crowds nightly. This is all word of mouth. Over the years, the Devil Makes Three have garnered fans the old school way, playing a city, making friends, conquering fans and moving on.

Laced with elements of ragtime, blues, country, folk and rockabilly, the critically praised, drummer-less trio - consisting of Vermont native, guitarist/front man Pete Bernhard, stand-up bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean, also of rural Vermont - brings forth a genuine approach to acoustic music. The sound is deeply steeped in rhythm and alive with three part harmonies, while keeping a slightly punk aesthetic to their music and especially their live shows.

Note: the following songs belong to a different band with the same name, a small local metal band from Northern Ireland:
