Crashing Down

Del Amitri

Well it might not be important to you now

When the night is young and everyone's around

And the music flows

Through your doped up Disney mind.



But you'll be crying like a baby when it comes

And you will try it anyway you can

To find a place to run, 'cos it ain't no fun

In party town, when loneliness comes crashing down.



And you'll be hurting in a way you can't explain,

And all those pretty things you love will look so vain.

'Cos the laughing crowd is such a hopeless sound

When loneliness comes crashing down,

Yeah, when loneliness comes crashing down.



And you might not think about

Just what happens now as your guests collect their coats.

In an empty house full of ashtray doubts

Your formless future floats.



So the bad and beautiful still remain

With their depleted bounty of bad cocaine, we love the house

But we can't quite place the name.



And it might not be important to you now,

When the night is young and you are loose and loud.

'Cos there ain't no sound in party town

Quite like loneliness crashing down.
