Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman
|
Signing his love letter best wishes Simpleton
|
Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs
|
He knew better that perfume was gravity
|
Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy
|
Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind
|
You better catch me when I fall
|
I'm on my roller skates
|
Cause any ole way that I fall
|
I land in your arms even though it's wrong
|
Cause I love my new mistake
|
Intermission gave way to a miracle
|
The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle
|
That didn't wait, her mother was three weeks late
|
So Father Mason clutching his crucifix
|
Baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice
|
What a lovely way, drowning sins in tooth decay
|
Looks like our hero's gonna fall
|
The boughs are bound to break
|
Cause any old way that I fall
|
I'll be in your arms as we lie awake
|
with our lovely new mistake
|
You better catch me when I fall
|
My sugar trampoline
|
Cause any old way that I fall
|
I land in your arms even though it's wrong
|
Cause I love my new mistake
|
The ending turned tragic when many years later
|
The baby had grown up and married a pop singer
|
I think it was her turn to make her first mistake
|
Any old time at all
|
Any old way that I fall
|
I just lie awake with my new mistake
|
