Lyrics for Song: Fall On Me
Lyrics for Album: Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage - 1982 - 2011 [2011]
There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all (melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
(repeat chorus)
Don't fall on me
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky.
(repeat chorus, etc.)

Fall On Me
Released on the 1982 album Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, "Fall On Me" stands as a defining track in the American alternative rock canon. Written by Michael Stipe and Peter Buck, the song exemplifies R.E.M.'s early blend of melodic pop sensibilities with introspective lyricism and jangly guitar work. Its haunting chorus and atmospheric production helped establish the band's signature sound, influencing a generation of indie and alternative musicians. The track remains a staple of their discography, often cited alongside hits like "Losing My Religion" as a cornerstone of their artistic identity during the early 1980s. |
