Lyrics for Falling Down Around Me
The smile that walks away from you Is the one that's killing me The bitter concealed has now congealed Leaving things out to be seen They are falling down around me The passage of time is it not my own Is it actuality The phase I go through out of phase With regularity The workers laughed and fired their pistols Shout hip hip hooray But some of us and me especially Want to walk away They are falling down Falling down around me And I go through Falling down around me Hello again have you seen my friend Playing games with other boys Heaven's why you say those things to me Don't you know it's just a noise I can't explain this light it seems to Sprung right over me I'm finding in the night that I've been Thinking heavily So I sing
