Laughing in a crown of jewels,
numbness from a sceptors wound
Toss and Turn, I spin and learn,
"catch yourself before you burn"
A joker's dance before the king,
jangling beads, a silver ring
Close your eyes and bare the sound,
jumping up - falling down
Chorus:
Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
Royal rebels discover you
Trust? you turn there is no truth
And circle, circle, why are you scared?
Why a smile instead of tears?
I'm gulping smoke to fade away
Figures floating down to lay
Meet the joker and the thief,
the king and queen but - no relief
Chorus
"the king is in the Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down
counting house, Look yourself in the eye before you drown
counting out his
money"
"the queen is in Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling down
her parlour, eating Look yourself in the eye before you drown
bread and honey"
[instrumental]
"Mary had a little lamb"
I cross myself before I die
The leaping man, he asks me, "why?"
"well your rhythm is off" I reply,
"Now you must dance the dance
that you imply!"
"Your actions will follow you full circle round,
Your actions will follow you full circle round,
Your actions will follow you full circle round,
Your actions will follow you full circle round,
the higher the leap, I said,
the harder the ground!"
