Fallen Down

Gov't Mule

Bigelow the gigolo had no where else to go

His sad eyes had seen it all

Scarred and lonely, tough as nails

Open your heart when all else fails

Wear the veil and the trojan horse smile



Looking back on yesteryear

Seems like, maybe, you missed your calling

But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling



And you have fallen down, down from the heavens

Stuck out in the desert

Amazing grace - such a lonely place

For heroes like you and me

Fallen down, just like a shooting star

With no fallen angel standing by

To carry you away



Target practice with other people's lives

Hit a few right between the eyes

But, most of the time, you were wounded by the ricochet

You say “play to win, boys, never play to lose

Long as your playing, boy, you're bullet-proof”

But think about it - you're bleeding to death anyway



And you have fallen down, down from the heavens

Stuck out in the desert

Amazing grace - such a lonely place

For heroes like you and me

Fallen down, just like a shooting star

With no fallen angel standing by



Angel of mercy, take pity on a fool

That spent a lifetime wondering

What Napoleon would do

If he were in your shoes



Rich, without pleasure - respected without love

Drinking poison from a golden cup

While anger, brother of fear, creeps like a knife into your heart



Looking back on yesteryear

Seems like, maybe, you missed your calling

But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling

And destiny's through calling



And you have fallen down - fallen down

Amazing grace - it's such a lonely place

Oh yes it is

Fallen down

Fallen down



Fallen down

Fallen down

Fallen down

Fallen down
