If It All Falls Down (Album Version)

[00:02.67] By: Matt Betton
[00:10.79] 1986
[00:15.20] I never wanted to be
[00:17.91] A man of mystery
[00:22.42] My life's an open book
[00:25.22] By James Joyce and Agatha Christie
[00:28.80] Sometimes I get confused
[00:32.49] Somewhere around page two
[00:36.06] I live the perfect crime
[00:39.66] And crime pays more than it used to
[00:43.34] They're checkin' the evidence
[00:46.91] May be some charges pressed
[00:50.57] The only one they got me on
[00:53.21] Is some misdemeanor craziness
[00:56.82] Chorus:
[00:58.64] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[01:02.34] If they solve my life they find me out
[01:05.91] Never thought to keep all I have found
[01:09.55] I have had my fun if it all falls down
[01:13.18] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[01:16.73] I have had my fun I have bought a few rounds
[01:20.36] And been out on the town way out on the town
[01:24.05] Way way way out if it all falls down
[01:30.39] Never wanted to be
[01:33.92] A part of history
[01:37.56] I have my days in the sun
[01:40.27] A beach bum a man for all seasides
[01:44.85] Guidance counselor said
[01:47.56] Your scores are anti-heroic
[01:51.10] Computer recommends
[01:54.77] Hard-drinking calypso poet
[01:59.23] Studied life at sea
[02:02.80] Studied life in bars
[02:06.57] Never passed my S.A.T.'s
[02:09.25] So I thought I'd study extra hard
[02:12.82] Chorus:
[02:14.60] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[02:18.25] I have learned my trade from the inside out
[02:21.81] I can strum real hard I can play real loud
[02:25.48] I can charm a crowd if it all falls down
[02:29.11] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[02:32.76] I can warm a crowd I can make them shout
[02:36.38] I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns
[02:39.99] I can make them dance 'til they all fall down
[02:46.27] We had plenty of doctors
[02:49.90] We had plenty of lawyers
[02:53.53] We had people to make us things
[02:57.11] We had people to sell us those things
[03:00.71] Didn't have enough room for those things
[03:04.38] We build lots of self storage
[03:07.90] Calypso poet shortage
[03:11.65] Calypso poet shortage
[03:14.35] Chorus:
[03:16.15] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[03:18.85] I'll have filled that void from city to town
[03:23.48] I'll have spent my money and taken my bows
[03:26.12] I'll have had my fun if it all falls down
[03:29.72] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[03:33.33] If they solve my life if they find me out
[03:37.08] Never thought to keep all I have found
[03:40.63] I have had my fun if it all falls down
[03:44.20] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[03:47.82] I can charm a crowd 'til they snake dance 'round
[03:51.43] With calypso beat down island sound
[03:55.18] I can make them dance 'til they all fall down
[03:57.87] Chorus:
[03:58.75] If it all falls down falls down falls down
[04:02.39] I can warm a crowd I can make them shout
[04:05.93] I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns
[04:09.57] I can make them dance 'til they all fall down
[04:25.86]
