Tom Waits - Falling Down (Paris - 07/25/08) lyrics

I come five hundred miles Just to see her halo I come from St. Petersburg Scarlett and me And I opened my eyes I was blind as could 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 3x Falling down, falling down You forget all the roses Don't come out on Sunday She's not gonna choose you For standing so tall Go on take a swig Of that poison and like it Now don't ask for silverware Don't ask for nothing Go on and put your ear to the ground You know you'll be hearing that sound Falling down, you're falling down Going down to see that radio who*e Come swing it on and now Everyone knew that hotel was a goner They took all the windows And took all the doorknobs And they hauled it away In a couple of days Now someone asked him "Take off your hat." We are smaller down here On the ground When you're falling down Falling down. (repeat)
