Richard Baker brought these chorus lyrics to the session. Come on down to the surface was a great metaphor for someone who had ascended or had died and was returning to view the earth again. I made up the verses on the spot. Singing with Richard was always a treat. He was a natural at backup harmonies...and every song that he sang on was made into a full production because of his effort.
lyrics
Come On Down To The Surface
The surface is a place for you
You can see what you want to do
Come on Down to the Surface
Maybe you think that you are free of crime
But you are just wasting your time
Come on Down to the Surface
My baby was just like you
Until she started sniffing glue
Come on Down to the Surface
You think that things are bad
That you will never ever be glad
You think that people are the crime
Then it is really time...to....
Come on Down to the Surface
