Lyrics Gravity / Falling Down Again - Alejandro Escovedo

Gravity / Falling Down Again

Pay your money
Take your chances
The wheel is spinnin',
goin' round and round
No angels hangin' from the ceiling can save you
No no St. Jude can’t pull you out
Falling down again
Pale little girl
Falling down again
Don’t ask me if it hurts
No use in running from the
shadows of strangers,
the odds are they let you down
No words written in the songs can save you,
the silence drowns you there’s no way out
Falling down again,
Pale little girl
Falling down again,
Don’t ask me if it hurts
She walks down the street
Face forward to the beat
She loves to hear them crush
They call out her name,
but she just looks the other way
she ain’t got the time
Then she sings:
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hah hah hah hah hah
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hah hah hah hah hah
You knock on the door,
but she ain’t ever at home
so you try the phone
It rings and it rings
till you’re so sick of that thing
but you can’t wish her home
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hah hah hah hah hah
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hah hah hah hah hah
So you write her a letter,
cause you can’t think anything better
you’re so proud of yourself
She tears it in two,
and throws it over her shoulder,
cause she don’t want bad luck
and she sings like an angel:
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hah hah hah hah
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hahahahahahaha
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hah hah hah hah hah
La la la la la
Na na na na na
Hahahaaaaa
Pay your money
take your chances
wheel spinning going
round and round
No angels hangin' from the ceiling can save you
No no St. Jude can’t pull you out
Falling down again
Pale little girl
Falling down again
Don’t ask me if I care
Falling down again
Falling down again
I thought I had it figured out
I thought I had it under control
Ha ha ha ha ha…
Ha ha ha ha…
