Is this world spinning round Has this ship run aground What's that shape What's that sound That's just me falling down Some of us are free Some are bound Some will swim Some will drown Some of us are saints Some are clowns Just like me they're falling down Well I lied to the nation While my reputation ran dry From my lungs to my liver I clung to the river bank's side Yeah well I'm back in the water Doing what I ought to Trying to lead an ordinary life Is this world spinning round Has this ship run aground What's that shape What's that sound That's just me falling down Some of us are green Some are brown Some are lost Some are found Sight unseen baby Sound on sound Pray for me I'm falling down I was lost in the jungle Crossed over enemy lines Well I got me a red nose By sleeping under hedgerows at night Yeah well I tried levitation Flying in formation Heaven knows the weight of this crime Is this Is this world spinning round Has this ship run aground What's that shape What's that sound That's just me falling down Falling down Falling down
