The Fall - Body Language

One stop forward, two steps back

Translation’s immune to the facts

When she comes to call, she’s back to stay

One stop toward, boy, anything

Lost in a maze of careless ways

When she comes to call, she’s back to stay

So she said, «Are you ready for the fall?»

I said, «Are you ready to take it all?»

She said, «I give it all I can

I take it, all I can stand.»

She’s demanding her time

Waiting for the birds to get off her shoulders

Girl, I did understand

This wasn’t meant to last forever

We’ve been doing the crown

Getting ready for the thing that is coming

Coming together

Will you take this life forever?

So she said, «Are you ready for the fall?»

I said, «Are you ready to take it all?»

She said, «I give it all I can

I take it, all I can stand.»
