Lyrics:
I saw you shining in the sky
just south of Greene County
Outshined, like the fading light
in the evening of December
And I don't know why everything I touch turns to ash
It's a certain sickness I remember
And I fall down, I fall down
I fall down, Angel I fall down
Watch me fall down now ...
I've been broke a thousand times
but I broke clean just once
You're supposed to understand my hurry to the door
We bank our lives on solid things
like steady jobs and women
My boots, they've been my surest bet so far
And I fall down ...
I have watched my heroes break their promises
I have heard them talk their pretty game
Twisted up the truth
Spit it back, dishonest
I don't think I've ever been the same
I'm about as perfect as a blind, three-legged dog
But I would follow you if I could follow anything
Believe me, I remember every word you ever told me
Even all them pure, imperfect things
And I fall down ...
I saw you shining in the sky
just south of Greene County
Outshined, like the fading light
in the evening of December
And I don't know why everything I touch turns to ash
It's a certain sickness I remember
And I fall down, I fall down
I fall down, Angel I fall down
Watch me fall down now ...
I've been broke a thousand times
but I broke clean just once
You're supposed to understand my hurry to the door
We bank our lives on solid things
like steady jobs and women
My boots, they've been my surest bet so far
And I fall down ...
I have watched my heroes break their promises
I have heard them talk their pretty game
Twisted up the truth
Spit it back, dishonest
I don't think I've ever been the same
I'm about as perfect as a blind, three-legged dog
But I would follow you if I could follow anything
Believe me, I remember every word you ever told me
Even all them pure, imperfect things
And I fall down ...
