Falling Down lyrics

(Tom Waits)

I have come 500 miles just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
And she wants you to steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you are not
When you`re falling down, falling down
When you`re falling down, falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses, don`t come around on Sunday
She`s not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on and take a swig of that poison and like it
And don`t ask for silverware, don`t ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you will be hearing that sound......falling down.
You`re falling down, falling down
Falling down, Falling down, falling down

When you`re falling down, falling down, falling down


Go on down and see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows, they took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone yell timber and take off your hat
It`s a lot smaller down here on the ground
You`re falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

Someone`s falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
