FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS words/music: bill mallonee (admin BMI 2015)
I heard it in the gilded voices of the past a record spinning 'round on a phonograph From a basement full of dust to the treading of the path Fallin' through the cracks
Take another swallow; take another breath one life poured out in a million little deaths You can saturate magnetic tape & bleed through the playback Fallin' through the cracks
Ya' oughta gather up that soul of yours or whatever is left numbness holds a clarity all unto itself Somewhere 'tween the top shelf & that monkey on your back Fallin' through the cracks
Well, the image starts to break-up but it first came as a gift The chemicals? They wash out what'er they come in contact with I heard a record spinning 'round on a phonograph Fallin' through the cracks
