Falling Down

Lyrics for Falling Down

(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
