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
