The Fall Lyrics


Caroline Lavelle The Fall


I found the fall beguiling
My body hanging in the rushing air
But when my daylight had shrunk
I wished to all life that I wasn't there

And speaking in the darkness
I tried to make a joke
And to my shame was answered
By a hundred ragged voices who spoke;

You get used to it, we did
You get used to it, we did

And sure enough my sight returned
So many crowded the walls
Some even getting near the top
And fighting for a new foothold

There was no way up that I could see
No light and no ladders
But I believed in the dice and snakes
Cos I was at the bottom, sadder

You get used to it, they did
You get used to it, they did

And down would come the gentlemen
To do their good each day
And talk to me in softened voices
Protected by their suits of grey

And they would give me presents
If I wanted them or no
So I could make more sense of
All the stupid things that I'd let show

You get used to it, they did
You get used to it, they did
