The Fall

The TV static did antennae tuning in

And it's the news again

Just send the pizzas here, a case of ice cold beer

And only two of us to share

With my eyes on the glass

A strange escape I see never reaching me

Yesterday has been and gone, today it won't be long

Let's forget about the past

If it's easier you may close your eyes and look away

So you can face another day

With my eyes on the glass

A strange escape I see never reaching me

All the pictures of the fall

All the writing on the wall

A crowd is marching in the street, so many have nothing to eat

And death is waiting for disaster

Relief may slowly make it through, a world sits watching how you do

But no one does a thing about it

With my eyes on the glass

A strange escape I see never reaching me

All the pictures of the fall

All the writing on the wall

All the sinners and the saints

All the wasting and mistakes

Maybe another day will see a better world

Maybe the answer wouldn't mend

Now for our faithless world it's far too close

To the end

All the pictures of the fall

All the writing on the wall

All the sinners and the saints

All the wasting and mistakes

All the pictures of the fall (I see the pictures of the fall)

All the writing on the wall (I read the writing on the wall)

All the sinners and the saints (All the sinners and the saints)

All the wasting and mistakes
