Falling To Pieces


If a man could be locked up for thoughts inside his head
I guess they'd throw away the key
But it's a long way from downtown to Sister Agnes
It's a long way from Mandalay.

If I could just remember half my yesterdays
I could live forever without wasted dreams
But you my friend have got so much to learn
Draw back those blinds you'd be surprised at what you see.

I'm falling to pieces. The bits are falling to the ground
Give me one reason why you'd wanna pick me up
Give me one reason why you'd wanna give me a hand.

The radio's just played our favourite record
Remember skinny dipping in the Serpentine
I laughed so much until the tears ran down my cheeks
I laughed so much my eyes were drowning in the sound

There's ten roads to Damascus, one to Babylon
Five to Ho Chi Ming but no way out.
If you've sank so low that your head's so heavy
With so many dumb thoughts that it makes you wanna shout.

I'm falling to pieces. The bits are falling to the ground
Give me one reason why you'd wanna pick me up
Give me one reason why you'd wanna give me a hand.
