Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've come five hundred miles just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
Well, I opened my eyes, I was blind as can be
When you give a man love, he must fall in the sea
And she wants you to steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you're not
[Verse 2]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
[Verse 3]
You forget all the roses, don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on, take a swig of that poison and like it
And don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing
Go on, put your ear to the ground
You'll be hearing that sound
[Verse 4]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
[Verse 5]
Go on down, see that wrecking ball come swinging along
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows, they took all the doorknobs
They hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone, yell timber and take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down here on the ground
[Verse 6]
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
