One day the ceiling falls in on you
Your more than perfect world
Has suddenly come unglued
There you are
One day your fortress is so much dust
The friends you thought you knew
Have all betrayed your trust
There you are
Head over heels, nothing to cling to
Stuck , dumb, dumb, no muses to sing to
Four winds blow you, lift you,
fling you to the sky
You know you're a winger,
you know you're gonna sing
You thought you had the whole world
wrapped around your finger
You always said it was the song
you're not gonna sing after all
You said you're on your neck,
you thought that that was clever
You said you're a bad son living forever,
forever, forever, forever, forever
But after all, you were born to fall
One day trouble will seek you out
You can run and you can hide
But your life is up the spout,
and there you are
One day, nothing makes sense at all
Your career's slow suicide
Your brain has hit the wall,
and there you are
Spinnin' around on a
carousel of voices
Talkin' in tongues, a hundred
James
Joyce's
Screamin' in your head,
as if you need choices after all
You know
John
Wayne, you know the gunslinger
You thought you had the whole world
wrapped around your finger
You al ways said it was the
song of the sinner after all
You said you're a man,
you thought that that was clever
You had your bets on living forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
But after all, you were bound to fall
You were bound to fall
You were bound to fall
You were bound to fall
