I never wanted to be
|
A man of mystery
|
My life's an open book
|
by James Joyce and Agatha Christie
|
|
Sometimes I get confused
|
Somewhere around page two
|
I live the perfect crime
|
And crime pays more than it used to
|
|
They're checkin' the evidence
|
May be come charges pressed
|
The only one they got me on
|
is some misdemeanor craziness
|
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
If they solve my life if they find me out
|
Never thought to keep all I have found
|
I hae had my fun If It All Falls Down
|
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
I hve had my fund I have bought a few rounds
|
And been out on the town way out on the town
|
Way way way out If It All Falls Down
|
|
Never wanted to be
|
A part of history
|
I have my days in the sun
|
A beach bum a man for all sea sides
|
Guidance counselor said
|
Your scores are anti-heroic
|
Computer recommends
|
Hard-drinking calypso poet
|
|
Studied life at sea
|
Studied life in bars
|
Never passed my S.A.T.'s
|
So I thought I'd study extra hard
|
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
I have learned my trade from the inside out
|
I can strum real hard I can play real loud
|
I can charm a crowd If It All Falls Down
|
|
If It all Falls Down falls down falls down
|
I can warm a crowd I can make them shout
|
I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns
|
I can make them dance till they all fall down
|
|
We had plenty of doctors
|
We had plenty of lawyers
|
We had people to make us things
|
We had people to sell us those things
|
We didn't have enough room for those things
|
We build lots of self storage
|
Calypso poet shortage
|
Calypso poet shortage
|
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
I'll have filled that void from city to town
|
I'll have spent my money and taken my bows
|
I'll have had my fun If It All Falls Down
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
If they solve my life if they find me out
|
Never thought to keep all I have found
|
I have had my fun If It All Falls Down
|
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
I can charm a crowd till they snake danced round
|
With calypso beat down island sound
|
I can make them dance till they all fall down
|
|
If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
|
I can charm a crowd I can make them shout
|
I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns
|
I can make them dance till they all fall down
|
