Lyrics

Fall Guy

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.

On slippery ice he's skating

but he don't have a care

Beneath his feet its breaking

but his head's in the air

Everyone's anticipating

he's gonna take a dive

Turn down your conversations

here comes the fall guy

Here comes that fall guy

Here comes that fall guy

I know I shouldn't ought to

reach for illusion

Just like a lamb to the slaughter

I only see confusion

Everyone's in expectation

this head is gonna roll

Turn down your conversations

here comes the fall guy

You can't help bad luck oh no

You can't help bad luck oh no

You can't help bad luck oh no

But it's a fool who puts his head in a frame

On slippery ice he's skating

but he don't have a care

Beneath his feet its breaking

but his head's in the air

Everyone's anticipating

he's gonna take a dive

Turn down your conversations

here comes the fall guy

You can't help bad luck oh no

You can't help bad luck oh no

You can't help bad luck oh no

Here comes that fall guy

You can't help bad luck oh no

Here comes that fall guy

(repeat to fade)
