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
