Friend, You’ve Got to Fall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, well, I can hear the treetops in the distance I can see your hollowed eyes What have you done to yourself in this instance? I guess it comes as no surprise [Chorus] Well, I can see the billboards in the distance Writing is on every wall Oh, I don't wanna know about your business Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall [Verse 2] Well, every night it's gotta be adventure The way you live your life's a crime And if you're guilty, will you serve the sentence? You're already doing time [Chorus] There's nothing wrong with having aspirations Nothing wrong with walking tall But if misfortune deals the consequences Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall [Bridge] Oh, I know the difference, and you keep your distance Oh, I don't wanna know what you've got Oh, is it pathetic to be sympathetic? And maybe you don't wanna get caught Caught up in something that's real That could last for a lifetime Nothing like, oh, nothing like the disease Disease that's in your mind Well, I don't wanna know... That's in your mind [Chorus] There's nothing wrong with having aspirations Nothing wrong with walking tall But if misfortune deals the consequences Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall [Verse 3] Well, I can see your life disintegrating Into ashes in your hand Oh, and I know you wouldn't want to tell me What is wrong 'cause you're a man, oh [Chorus] And I can see the billboards in the distance Writing is on every wall I don't wanna know about your business Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall [Outro] You've got to fall You've got to fall You've got to fall
