Velvet Goldmine movie - Tumbling Down lyrics

rate me

Song by The Venus in Furs<br /><br>

Gee, but it's hard<br>

When one lowers one's guard to the vultures<br>

<br>

Now, me I regard it<br>

A torturous hardship that smolders<br>

<br>

Like a peppermint eaten away<br>

Will I fight? Will I swagger, or sway?<br>

<br>

Tee hee, milady<br>

She cries like a baby<br>

Scold us<br>

<br>

See her tumbling down<br>

<br>

Heil to the monkey<br>

We're having a funky reunion<br>

<br>

Wasted and sunk<br>

He can only have Sunday communion<br>

<br>

He's got nicotine stains in his eyes<br>

He's got nothing to protect but his pride<br>

<br>

Oh smothered a kiss<br>

Or be drowned in blissful confusion<br>

<br>

See her tumbling down<br>

<br>
