The Fall Songtext
von NOMARKMORE

Walked into this dive for two quick shots
Neon buzzed same old talk and slots
Didn′t plan to stay just kill some time
Then cheap booze hit and the lights felt fine

Private dancers peanuts free
Bartender smirks Next round's on me
For a second I forget my name
But I know damn well it′s all the same

Back home there's a kid cold soup on the stove
TV saints singing love I don't know

Two shots down and I feel alive
Better here than under nine-to-five
Wife′s at home rain hits the blinds
Same old fight playin′ in rewind
Two shots down yeah I'm just fine
Guess the bar′s my church tonight


She's waitin′ up checkin' my pay
Screamin′ Where you been same play
I lie say Traffic then grab my coat
Head back out before I choke

That jukebox knows my soul too well
Plays sad songs just to ring my bell
Bartender nods no need to talk
Just pour and watch the ticking clock

Every round's confession time
Every sip erases line
I'm one more ghost in neon light
Too broke to quit too drunk to fight

Two shots down and I feel alive
Better here than under nine-to-five
She′ll ask again I′ll say I tried
Then dream of windows open wide
Two shots down rain in my eyes
Guess the fall's my last goodbye
Two shots down rain in my eyes
Two shots down rain in my eyes
Guess the fall′s my last goodbye
