Ashes to Ashes We All Fall Down

Old Johnny Walker got a cane in his hand

Rhythm in his shoes like a devil he can dance

Got money in his pocket and a woman on his sleeve

She’s there every night and she’ll do what you please

Candy been sweet since the age of eighteen

Hustling, bustling boulevard dreams

Hiding money in the walls maybe she can make it out

The rule on the street says there’s no doubt

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

V2

Don’t matter much if you’re new to this place

Everybody knows he invented this game

Yeah neon don’t sleep and he ain’t so kind

So candy took a taste of another man’s wine

She was his best, his bottom, his girl

He had a few more but she was his world

With his heart in his hand and money down the drain

They both went swimming in the river of pain

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

CHORUS

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

V3

She was begging for a dollar, counting every coin

Nobody’s a believer so she lit her last joint

As they watched the sun fall for the very last time

Johnny took the only thing he loved in his life

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

CHORUS

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down
