The Fall Songtext
von The Gadjits

Chapels and churchyards
Apartments and grocery stores
Like snow on a ton of bricks
And nurses in nursing homes
I′m piles of sticks and stones
Faking light in an empty store
And over the ocean
So I can fall some more

Like a fever dream my temperature's burning
Outside my bedroom door the knob is turning and
All the lessons that I never dream we′re learning like
Stories of having always better than self with earning but

I'm leaving Eden
I'm sick of all the rules
And it′s the angels in the air
And the beasts in the sea
Heaven ain′t what it's cracked up to be
I′m taking, taking the fall


If the plot gets any worse
The house gets boarded
When the tales are true
Then the nights get sordid and
I sleep with lilies
To dream all the day

Show up and cover me with orchids

Garage locked and the car is running
And the seats are pulled
And the people grinning and
They were told that every life's worth living
That love finds you and the end comes too but

I′m leaving Eden
I'm sick of all the rules
And it′s the angels in the air
And the beasts in the sea
And heaven ain't what it's cracked up to be
And I′m taking, taking the fall

Things we say don′t seem to matter when
Our voices cracking
Pieces scatter
Leaves through windows we left open
Been a long long time since I've seen an Autumn but


Like a fever dream my temperature′s burning
Outside my bedroom door the knob is turning and
All the lessons that I never dream we're learning like
Stories of having always better than self with earning but

Chapels and churchyards
Apartments and grocery stores
Like snow on a ton of bricks
And nurses in nursing homes
Like piles of sticks and stones
Faking light in an empty store
And over the ocean
So I can fall some more

I′m taking the fall
I'm taking the fall
I′m taking the fall
I'm taking the fall
I'm taking the fall

I′m taking the fall
I′m taking the fall
I'm taking the fall
I′m taking the fall
I'm taking the fall

I′m taking the fall
I'm taking the fall
I′m taking the fall
I'm taking the fall
I'm taking the fall
I′m taking the fall
I′m taking the fall
