Watch it Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, it's not so easy now though it never was back then
We still can't seem to work this out, but we can still pretend
And these tattered walls and burnin' bridges quickly start to fall
How long until there's nothin' left at all?
I've been to California, man, I've seen them city lights
Been stranded in the desert, scorching days and freezing nights
And I'll never understand why people try to walk so tall
How long until there's nothin' left at all?
Don't you love what you got used to
Where we used to feel so free
Won't you wait a while in silence, love
Watch it fall with me
Well, the old man said the great Big Apple's rotten to the core
With Wall Street skimming from the till while no one minds the store
And how could someone get so low in a building so damn tall?
How long until there's nothin left at all?
While chunks the size of Delaware are falling off the poles
Our heads are buried in the sand, our leaders dug the holes
Like junkies hooked on fossil fuels heading for withdrawal
How long until there's nothin left at all?
Don't you love what you got used to
Where we used to feel so free
Come and wait a while in silence, love
And watch it fall with me
Now the answer's in our heads to the question that were asked
It boils up from underground and leads us to the past
To a place that's long forgotten when we had enough for all
How long until there's nothin' left at all?
Don't you love what you got used to
Where we tried to make our stand
The hourglass is growing empty now
Just to leave a pile of sand
