[Verse 1]
Hello, don't you know me?
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I've seen how you give it, now I want you to receive
I'm sure, for you would do the same for me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom

[Chorus]
But I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you all the way
I'm riding, yeah

[Verse 2]
For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face
For all that reminds me which is my place
For all of the times when you made me disappear
This time I'm sure you will know that I am here

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom

[Chorus]
But I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you all the way
Riding you all the way
Riding you all the way
Riding
Riding all the way

[Verse 3]
My place was beneath you, but now I'm above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you won't see
A future so holy without me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the bottom
I know I'm headed for the (bottom!)

[Chorus]
But I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you all the way

[Outro]
I'm riding you all the way
Yeah, I'm riding you
Yes, I'm riding you
I'm riding you
Yes, I'm riding you
I'm riding you all the way
Yes!

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
