Lyrics:
- 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
