Lyrics for When The Bottom Fell Out

When the bottom fell out There wasn't any doubt I just suddenly Found myself free falling And from such a height The wind, it had a bite And it took all my might To fight the fright The flailing spread-eagled Must've formed an airfoil Or some kinda wing And I gained some equilibrium And caught myself gliding When the bottom fell out Observers heard me shout So long It's been good to know you But when I finallly smash Into that verdant grass I will say It's been pretty great going
