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
