ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - All Fall Down lyrics

rate me

What can you tell meof the perfect man.

What can you tell menow I don't quite understand.

We lose our gripwe glide and stall.

Some things come easysome don't come at all.

We chip away at the perfect man.

What can you show menow I don't quite understand.

Eye to eye nothing left to say

But will you really throw it all away.

We tripwe stumbleand we all fall down.

Things go wrongthough are strong.

We slipwe fumbleand we all fall down

Round and roundwe all fall down.

Sometime....

No matter how we try to keep things straight.

It makes no differencewhile we cause our fate.

We burn our candle unaware.

While on our knees we cry in prayer.

We tripwe stumbleand we all fall down.

Pain wont lastthis too shall pass.

We slipwe fumbleand we all fall down

Round and roundtime and timeagain.

But ahhhh

If it's so simple then explain to me.

How pain is so close to ecstasy.

How change can make you feel so free.

Ahhhh

If we were meant to be such perfect fools.

Then why do we always break the rules

Crashing through life's scenery.

We tripwe stumbleand we all fall down.

Angry cries and desperate lies.

We slipwe fumbleand we all fall down

Hearts to mendsun comes up again.
