Lyrics The Innocence Mission

The Innocence Mission

Pride Takes A Fall

For love, I'm doing your battles on the lawn

Questions, they come at me all sides, all around

You say you might as well be there and silent, underground

If peacocks strolling over, laughing at you, long and loud.

Almost has never been good enough for you

Good try, my love won't ever be good enough for you

You say you might as well be there and silent, underground

If peacocks stolling over, laughing at you, long and loud.

My love, I'm doing your battles on the lawn

Face them and only your pride will take the fall

Don't say you might as well be there and silent, underground

Oh, you'll be over this wall before the peacocks find delight.
