Fall On Me - Live From Utrecht, Holland / 1987 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s a problem, feathers, iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
[Bridge]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And tell the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
[Verse 2]
There’s the progress we have found
A way to talk around the problem
Building, towered
Foresight isn’t anything at all
[Bridge]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And bleed the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Don’t fall on me
There’s a problem, feathers, iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
[Bridge]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And tell the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
[Verse 2]
There’s the progress we have found
A way to talk around the problem
Building, towered
Foresight isn’t anything at all
[Bridge]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And bleed the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Don’t fall on me
[Verse 4]
Well, I would keep it above
But then it wouldn’t be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you gotta promise to keep it whole
[Bridge]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky, and ask the sky
[Chorus]
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Don’t fall on me
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Well, I would keep it above
But then it wouldn’t be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you gotta promise to keep it whole
[Bridge]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky, and ask the sky
[Chorus]
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
Don’t fall on me
Don’t fall on me (It’s going to fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (If it’s there for long)
Fall on me (It’s going to fall) (It’s over, it’s over me)
