Falling Down lyrics

Once was a man who consumed his place and time.

He felt nothing could touch him,

but here and now, it's a different story line,

like a straw he is clutching.

Why has the sky turned grey,

hard on my face and cold on my shoulder ?

And why has my life gone astray ?

Scarred by my disgrace, I know that it's over...

...because I'm falling down,

with people standing 'round.

But before I hit the ground,

is there time ? Could I find

someone out there to help me ?

Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head,

caught inside its own notion.

How I wish it was somebody else instead,

howling at all this corrosion.

Why did the luck run dry,

laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me ?

And why do the cruel barbs fly,

now when disgrace can no longer hurt me ?

Because I'm falling down,

with people standing 'round.

But before I hit the ground,

is there time ? Could I find

someone out there to help me ?

You see, I'm falling down,

with people standing 'round.

But before I hit the ground,

is there time ? Could I find

someone out there to help me ?

Ohhhhhhhh.....

Ahh, ahh, ahhh....

Because I'm falling down,

with people standing 'round.

But before I hit the ground,

is there time ? Could I find

someone out there to help me ?

You see, I'm falling down,

with people standing 'round.

But before I hit the ground,

is there time ? Could I find

someone out there to help me ?

I don't know. Can I go ? [x2]
