John Cale
Falling Down
[Verse 1]
I would see you falling down
Still I would have been around
Hated to hear the sound
As you fell and punched the ground
Such as miserable suicide
Performed before my eyes
Staggering about the town
Unaware I was around

[Chorus]
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
If you wanted me to
I wouldn't have you
You wouldn't have you
No, you wouldn't have you

[Verse 2]
Feel the dead sea
Running through your veins
A sea of mercury
Dragging you down the drain

[Chorus]
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
If you wanted me to
I wouldn't have you
You wouldn't have you
[Verse 3]
Come searching for your little girl
But she hid in her oyster shell
Stupoured and ill-humoured
You left her with the swine and swill
Didn't you?
Couldn't you?
Didn't you?

[Chorus]
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
If you wanted me to
I wouldn't have you
You wouldn't have you
No, you wouldn't have you

[Outro]
I would see you falling down
Still I would have been around
Staggering about the town
Unaware I was around
Unaware I was around
