If It All Falls Down |
I never wanted to be |
A man of mystery |
My life’s an open book |
By James Joyce and Agatha Christie |
Sometimes I get confused |
Somewhere around page two |
I live the perfect crime |
And crime pays more than it used to |
They’re checkin' the evidence |
May be some charges pressed |
The only one they got me on |
Is some misdemeanor craziness |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
If they solve my life they find me out |
Never thought to keep all I have found |
I have had my fun if it all falls down |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
I have had my fun I have bought a few rounds |
And been out on the town way out on the town |
Way-way-way out if it all falls down |
Never wanted to be |
A part of history |
I have my days in the sun |
A beach bum a man for all seasides |
Guidance counselor said |
Your scores are anti-heroic |
Computer recommends |
Hard-drinking calypso poet |
Studied life at sea |
Studied life in bars |
Never passed my S.A.T.'s |
So I thought I’d study extra hard |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
I have learned my trade from the inside out |
I can strum real hard I can play real loud |
I can charm a crowd if it all falls down |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
I can warm a crowd I can make them shout |
I can juggle verbs, adverbs, and nouns |
I can make them dance 'til they all fall down |
We had plenty of doctors |
We had plenty of lawyers |
We had people to make us things |
We had people to sell us those things |
Didn’t have enough room for those things |
We build lots of self-storage |
Calypso poet shortage |
Calypso poet shortage |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
I’ll have filled that void from city to town |
I’ll have spent my money and taken my bows |
I’ll have had my fun if it all falls down |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
If they solve my life, if they find me out |
Never thought to keep all I have found |
I have had my fun if it all falls down |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
I can charm a crowd 'til they snake dance 'round |
With calypso beat down island sound |
I can make them dance 'til they all fall down |
If it all falls down, falls down, falls down |
I can warm a crowd I can make them shout |
I can juggle verbs, adverbs, and nouns |
I can make them dance 'til they all fall down |
