Lyrics
How To Take a 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.
It's one word, cover-to-cover
It's an endless fuse
Chain-repeater never seems to get any smarter
I'm always marking pages so
That i don't get confused
End up in a fight i never had any part of
Listen, naive plaything
Coming over, clueless
Every time you call
An accident just waiting to happen
Still hasn't failed out
How to take a fall
Make me a present
Make it something sweet
Small enough to go unnoticed and big enough to complete
What does a massive pass that keeps
Blocking up my street
Looking for a new contender to disassemble
Listen naive plaything
Coming over, clueless
Every time you call
An accident just waiting to happen
Still hasn't failed out
How to take a fall
How to take a fall
How to take a fall
