Falling With Every Step - The Pink Spiders

Oh, fashionistas, scene police and souvenirs —

Keepsakes from days I wish that I wasn’t here

Snowflake, it’s so hard —

You’re a whole lot, you’re a sham

But I think I want it, I think I need it —

Like I need a heart attack

Now I’m falling, falling, falling with every step

And I’m crawling, crawling past the company that I’ve kept

Oh, calm charisma, there’s no story in your tears

So let’s just do nothing but hang like chandeliers

You’re such a big shot

You’re a astronaut, you’re a flirt

But I think I want it, I think I need it —

Like I need a heart attack

Now I’m falling, falling, falling with every step

And I’m crawling, crawling past the company that I’ve kept

Every day is a runaround, all I want is a taste but now

I’m falling, falling, falling with every step

Falling, falling

In the fault line I’m falling

Like an engine that’s stalling

And nobody, nobody’s getting out alive

(Where I go, you go, and what I know, you know

There’s no escape I swear, there are no secrets)

Falling, falling

In the fault line I’m falling

Like an engine that’s stalling

And nobody, nobody’s getting out alive

(Where I go, you go, and what I know, you know

There’s no escape I swear, there are no secrets)

Falling, falling

In the fault line I’m falling

Like an engine that’s stalling

And nobody, nobody’s getting out alive

(Where I go, you go, and what I know, you know

There’s no escape I swear, there are no secrets)

My heart was with her, but my body’s on strike

Fighting the poison that I’ve chosen tonight

She looked concerned, said, «Are you feeling alright?»

I didn’t answer

(Stop me if you’ve heard this one)

Another bastard with a shit-eating grin

So disingenuous, just phoning it in

Slowly fading, easy faking chagrin

She said, «I'm sorry,»

(At least that’s what I think she said)

The faced manipulations of nefarious creeps

The kind that reminisce about the heart of the streets

The kind that talked a lot of shit, but couldn’t handle the heat

The kind you saw it in their eyes it was the

Widening retinas acting as antennas

Nothing was sacred and nothing was safe at all

Wa-oh, wa-oh, we’re falling so loud

Wa-oh, wa-oh, we’re falling so loud

Wa-oh, wa-oh, we’re falling so loud

Wa-oh, wa-oh, we’re falling so loud

Now I’m falling, falling, falling with every step

And I’m crawling, crawling past the company that I’ve kept

Every day is a runaround, all I want is a taste but now

I’m falling, falling, falling with every step

Falling, falling

In the fault line I’m falling
