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