Tumbling Down

Lyrics for Tumbling Down

Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures Now me, I regard it a tortuous hardship that smoulders. Like a peppermint eaten away Will I fight? Will I swagger or sway? Hee-hee, my Lady, she cries like a baby to scold us See her tumbling down, (tumbling down) Tumbling down, (tumbling down). Hail! to the monkey, we're having a funky reunion Wasted and sunk, he can only have Sunday communion. He got nicotine stains in his eyes He got nothing to protect but his pride. Oh, smother the kiss or be drownded in blissful confusion See it tumbling down, (tumbling down) Tumbling down, (tumbling down). Juvenile tale, see the Titanic sail into Brighton The Hemingway stacatto, the tragic bravado can frighten. To be here, there and everywhere's fine But do you have to be so swift all the time? Deliver the dawn to the Moulin Rouge on the horizon Watch it tumbling down, (tumbling down) Tumbling down, (tumbling down) Tumbling down, (tumbling down) Tumbling down (tumbling down). Oh dear, look what they've done to the blues, blues, blues Oh dear, look what they've done to the blues, blues, blues Oh dear, look what they've done to the blues, blues, blues
