"Fall Down"

(written by Kristin Hersh)

I picked up this lady in a store

She dropped her stuff

And tripped on it, so I picked her up

I said, everybody falls down

Once you meet the man you want

You'll know 'cause you see red

Like making honey 'til he stings you in the head

Fall down

Fall down

Kate collected postcards when she felt too alone

In case no friends of hers could get her on the phone

Fall down

Fall down

Her husband was in line behind her

Not everybody falls down

You're so old, I said, what happened?

If you eat her lipstick you consume her jealous rage

They get you in the mouth, those girls

Fall down

Fall down

Juan collected things in cans, he felt he wasn't safe

See, his girlfriend took some when she went away

Fall down

Fall down

Nothing ever happens here, I said

I just wait

I showed this guy my pictures

He said they didn't breathe

I said I painted them that way

Kind of hanging on his sleeve

Fall down

Fall down

I showed this girl my stitches

She said she had some too

She said she thinks she'll start a rock band too

Fall down

Fall down 

Fall down now

I hope you fall so fast and hard that you get me...
