lyrics

Fall, fall, fall!

Honey, money & jewels could make you rich beyond compare
But they won’t buy you time
Honey, money & jewels gave you a seat way up the stairs
But now you wait in line
With the rest of us – and we’re so glad
That you could come today because
Everybody’s here to watch you
Fall, fall, fall!

The bees brought you honey, asking nothing in return
And you took it when you could
Knowing you’d been spoiled sweet
And that you did not deserve anything that good
But still you kicked the nest in half
You made them scatter, watched and laughed
You stood so tall, now you got a long way to
Fall, fall, fall!

Desiree, from a Hyde Park apartment
Now recently a refugee from a well-to-do family
You – with the bluest eyes, the brightest pearls,
The biggest lies that I ever heard!
At least you’ve got diamonds to wear
When you know deep down that you can’t go anywhere
Lock them away in a box labeled “handle with care”
But if your jewel box ends up on
The bedroom floor and you’re alone
It might be enough to make you trip and
Fall, fall, fall!
