Lyrics
Taking 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.
Took it like medicine, horrible in a hurry
Lots of plans go awry, nothing's wrong, I won't worry
But I rolled for a dollar on your advice
And I lost you bad cause that's the luck of the dice
Taking a fall
You don't know who to call
Well, you don't know who, do you?
Taking a fall
Why do the neighbor's kids have to scream when they're playing?
You know I never can understand what you're saying
Then you won't hear a word out of me
Cause I know how indifferent someone can be
Taking a fall
You don't know who to call
No, you don't know who, do you?
Taking a fall
When there's someone to call
But you don't know who, do you?
Taking a fall
But you don't know who, do you?
Taking a fall
Well, you don't know who, do you?
