AMERICA - FALLIN' OFF THE WORLD lyrics

rate me

Written by Dewey Bunnell and Bill Mumy, ©1984

Found on Perspective.

Each time I call you I feel my heart beat

I want to be there walkin' up your street

It doesn't matter how far I travel

Crossin' the ocean, the golden gravel

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you

Tomorrow's headline, read all about it

They caught the big one and I don't doubt it

Across the country they're paintin' stories

About our failures, about our glories

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you

All of those screams of each other must share in the fight

Nobody knows where their clear spirit goes in the night

Out of the country it seems so easy

To keep believin' our dream of Fiji

Your image lingers, a faded picture

Your past erased by untold elixir

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you

All of those screams of each other must share in the fight

Nobody knows where their clear spirit goes in the night

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world
