The Fall Lyrics

The Fall lyrics

Chapels and churchyards

Apartments and grocery stores

Like snow ona ton of bricks

On nurserys and nursing homes

On piles of sticks and stones 

A vacant lot and an empty store

And over the ocean so i can fall some more



Like a fever dream my teperature's burning

My bed room door the knob is turning

All the lessons that i never dreamed worth learning

Stories of having always preface themselves with earning



I'm leaving eden

I'm sick of all the rules

The angels in the air

The beasts in the sea

Heaven ain't what it's cracked up to be

I'm taking the fall



If the block gets any worse

Thehouse gets boarded

When the days are true 

The nights get sordid

I sleep with lilies to me morbid

'Till you show up and cover me with orchids



The garage locked and car left running

The seats are full and the people grinning

The were told that if life's worth living that the love finds you

and the air comes through



Things we asy don't seem to matter 

When our voices crack and the pieces scatter

Like leaves through windows we've left open

Been a long long time since i 've seen an autumn
