Just like the throng
Was an only child
Like our only right
Was to be wrong
Well it seems so long
Since it all came tumbling down
Tumbling down
A shadow's cast
On the dusty ground
You'd think that it would last
You'd think it'd stick around
But you scattered so fast
Since it all came tumbling down
Tumbling down, yes it's tumbling
Tumbling, tumbling down
Since it all came tumbling
Tumbling down, tumbling down
Hey, it's tum –
Is it doing me good, is it doing me harm
When I think of your loving arms
Well it's pulling me up and it's tearing me down
'Cause I found
This humble town
All over the ground
Tumbling down
