Tom Hipps: Music

Take You Down (acoustic version)

(Tom Hipps)
2008
Tom Hipps/Michael Nelson
This is an acoustic version of the song that appears on the Then Went the Demons album. It is a song about temptation... it is not necessarily about women and/or lust. Just temptation in general.
OK, mostly about lust.
She's gonna take you down
She wants to make you her lover tonight
She'll sing a blue-eyed song so softly
And you're thinking everything is alright
Wondering why you put up a fight
When all she wants to do is

Take you down
It's really hurting no one

She knows what's happening
Plant a thought push a button right here
And you become ready willing and able
And you're thinking everything is alright
Wondering why you put up a fight
But all it's gonna do is
Take you down (I'm feeling older)
Take you down (But I'm getting better)
Take you down (at knowing who I am)

You're living a life of no regret
Just doing your act without a net
Someday when the deal goes down
You'll wish that you had seen

Just what was happening
While the wild ones were stealing your soul
And yet you still believed
That you still had it under control
And everything's not alright
Wondering how you got in this fight
When all it's gonna do is

Take you down (I am forgiven)
Take you down (If I'm not mistaken)
Take you down (You will not bury me)
