Píseň: Fall On Me

Album:
And I Feel Fine... The Best of the I.R.S. Years 1982–1987
There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
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


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
