• The Fall

Somewhere in the north
Amid the drunken hunting ground
Upon a sticky night club floor
A wilting rose I found
I snatched her from the clutches
Of an evil smelling bore
I said, "I think it's over now,"
She said, "I’m not so sure."

We quick-stepped into love
Like Fred and Ginger in a trance
At all the most exclusive balls
Always we dreamt to dance
The snakes and devils of our past
Were scrupulously ignored
I said, "I think it's over now,"
She said, "I’m not so sure."

The windswept kisses on the dunes
The lonely ships at sea
Around the Cape of Vain Hope
The gods smile on her and me
"If you’re reading this you’ve come too far,"
The sign read on the door.
I said, "I think it's over now,"
She said, "I’m not so sure."

To save us from ourselves
We turned our fury on each other
She crucified my confidence
I’d hung to to recover
We’d tighten up the thumbscrews
And still scream out for more
I said, "I think it's over now,"
She said, "I’m not so sure."

We followed every line
To where the end always begins
Presented our credentials and
They gladly let us in
We washed in filthy sin and
We grew rotten to the core
I said, "I think it's over now,"
She said, "I’m not so sure."

Our merry dance was over
Every shred of love was gone
Everything that once seemed right
Turned out to be so wrong
I woke up on the sofa
Found her suitcase in the hall
She said, "I think it's over now,"
I said nothing at all.
