The Waterboys
Everybody Takes A Tumble
To break your heart into pieces
Is what I'm here to do
I've got nothing but trouble, babe
In store for you
I've got one eye fixed on the main chance
One hand behind your back
And you just stumbled blind, babe
Right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
There's vengeance in my belly
Slime on both my shoes
And everything bad that you ever heard
About little old me is true
My trigger finger is itchy
My humor is black
And you just stumbled blind, babe
Right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
Now the devil drives a hard bargain
Preacher burns his hands
Fireman gives a sermon
Lord surveys his lands
Huck Finn just went out for sticks
He ain't coming back
And you just stumbled blind, babe
Right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
Rush is back in the ballrooms
[Incomprehensible] in my egg
Sinéad O'Connor is the guest of honor
And the Plagues are gonna play
Old Van Morrison's mourning
Something about a copycat
And you just stumbled blind, babe
Right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
Faces started shining
Flags begin to sway
Would you believe I came a long distance
Just to be with you today?
Your crooked partner
He just got the sack
And you just stumbled blind, babe
Right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go, go
