From the recording Another Kind of Train
"Let Me Down" by the Brother Bicker Band is a Stones-y, high-energy track that blends sharp storytelling with a driving rhythm. The song explores themes of betrayal, excess, and the consequences of living on the edge with a happy vibe. With raw vocals, electrifying instrumentation, and a powerful chorus that serves as both a warning and a plea, "Let Me Down" captures the tension between holding on and letting go.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Your highwire circus friends have got the best man
Licking his hands in the back of a limousine
His feet won’t touch the ground till he comes down
Empty as a pocket and used like a cash machine
Chorus
If you’re going to let me down
You better not take my heart
Ya we both know where this ends
Let me go but don’t you let me down
Verse 2
The first time I touched the wire was like hurricane
Blowing my eyes shake my nerves like a tambourine
The next time I come around I got it locked down
Push that button like the seed in a tangerine
Chorus
If you’re going to let me down
You better not take my heart
Ya we both know where this ends
Let me go but don’t you let me down
Verse 3
The dead men shake their bones on the dance floor
Yelling fire while the cops kick in the back door
The bankers got his red hands in your pocket
But you don’t care about the money anymore.
Chorus
If you’re going to let me down
You better not break take my heart
Ya we both know where this ends
Let me go but don’t you let me down
