Gravity / Falling Down Again - Alejandro Escovedo

Pay your money

Take your chances

The wheel is spinnin',

goin' round and round

No angels hangin' from the ceiling can save you

No no St. Jude can’t pull you out

Falling down again

Pale little girl

Falling down again

Don’t ask me if it hurts

No use in running from the

shadows of strangers,

the odds are they let you down

No words written in the songs can save you,

the silence drowns you there’s no way out

Falling down again,

Pale little girl

Falling down again,

Don’t ask me if it hurts

She walks down the street

Face forward to the beat

She loves to hear them crush

They call out her name,

but she just looks the other way

she ain’t got the time

Then she sings:

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hah hah hah hah hah

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hah hah hah hah hah

You knock on the door,

but she ain’t ever at home

so you try the phone

It rings and it rings

till you’re so sick of that thing

but you can’t wish her home

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hah hah hah hah hah

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hah hah hah hah hah

So you write her a letter,

cause you can’t think anything better

you’re so proud of yourself

She tears it in two,

and throws it over her shoulder,

cause she don’t want bad luck

and she sings like an angel:

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hah hah hah hah

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hahahahahahaha

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hah hah hah hah hah

La la la la la

Na na na na na

Hahahaaaaa

Pay your money

take your chances

wheel spinning going

round and round

No angels hangin' from the ceiling can save you

No no St. Jude can’t pull you out

Falling down again

Pale little girl

Falling down again

Don’t ask me if I care

Falling down again

Falling down again

I thought I had it figured out

I thought I had it under control

Ha ha ha ha ha…

Ha ha ha ha…
