Headlong To The Truth (The Avalanche Song)

Sometimes you only have to move one rock

For an avalanche to start

Sometimes it only takes one smile

To get inside and mess around your heart

Ever since i met you we've been tumbling toward destruction

That's as certain as the setting of the sun

If i'd known i'd fall in love with you

I'd have fixed it so we never would have met

Never having known you

Would have made you so much easier to forget

You're about as good for me as i am good for you

And that's about as good as an avalanche is fun

And i wish that we were married

So we could get divorced

Get over this loving stuff

Let nature take its course

You can't choose who you love

Darling we're the living proof

So we'll ride this old landslide where it takes us

Headlong to the truth

I'm moving through this landscape

With all the grace of a two-legged mule

I try to stand a while

Then i accept it, i'm no exception to the rule

As i'm bouncing down this mountainside i am pleasantly confounded

But i'm worried that it's never going to stop

I'm thinking as i'm falling i hope i don't land

Where anyone will see me

I'd rather lay in solitude

Until the winds of time blow by to free me

But i've got the peace of mind of a skydiver whose parachute won't open

In other words, i'm good to the last drop

Chorus

And i got two-months' pay burning a hole in my pocket

It's a crazy thing

I don't know if i should move as far away as i can

Or buy you a wedding ring

And i wish that we were married

Hey maybe we would get divorced

If we get over this loving stuff

If nature takes that course etc.
