Lyrics
All Fall Down
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.
What do you give to the sinking man
When buddy he'd like a drink
'cos trouble and pleasure don't usually mix
And buddy he need a fix
But selling your soul to the bible
Is throwing your future away
And selling your soul to the needle
Is only a problem away
[chorus]
And we all fall down
When we're never gonna touch the ground
Nothing gonna hurt us anymore
Was it only love we waited for
And we all fall down
When we're never gonna touch the ground
Heaven's not a castle in the air
Lovers find it almost anywhere
Cecile never had money
She didn't have time to be good
But while she was fighting her way through the mire
She never forgot that she could
The friend who was nearly a stranger
Said the plan couldn't possibly fail
But Cecile thought of the danger
Hey man she'd already broken her bail
[chorus]
Stupid decision
Could lead her to prison
She paid for her drinks out a while
Just a drifter she thought
That the future was bought
With the hope in his eyes and her smile
And we all fall down...
[chorus]
And we all fall down never touch the ground
Nothing gonna hurt us
As proud as the night we are
All fall down... never gonna touch the ground
Ooh
Is it only love... Is it only love?
