Fall Down

Throwing Muses

I picked up this lady in a store,

She dropped her stuff

And tripped on it, so I picked her up

I said, everybody falls down

Once you meet the man you want

You'll know 'cause you see red

Like making honey

'Til he stings you in the head

Fall down fall down

Kate collected postcards

When she felt too alone

In case no friends of hers

Could get her on the phone

Fall down fall down

Her husband was in line behind her

Not everybody falls down

You're so old, I said, what happened?

If you eat your lipstick

You consume here jealous rage

They get you in the mouth, those girls

Fall down fall down

Juan collected things in cans,

He felt he wasn't safe

See, his girlfriend took some

When she went away

Fall down fall down

Nothing ever happens here, I said,

I just wait.

I showed this guy my pictures

He said they didn't breathe

I said I painted them that way

Kind of hanging on his sleeve

Fall down fall down

I showed this girl my stitches

She said she had some too

She said she thinks she'll start

A rock band too

Fall down fall down

I hope you fall so fast and hard

That you get me
