When the Sky Comes Tumblin’ Down Songtext
von Brian Setzer

I used to search for the ideal girl
The perfect little prettiness
I used to search for the ideal world
But frankly think it don′t exist

So many times, I get so afraid
So many ways, I felt so betrayed
We get together on a Saturday night
And watch the whole world cave in

Little girl, I wanna know
What you look for in a man
Is he tall, tough and handsome
With a continental taint?

I just wanna be around
When the big world hits the ground
I don't wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin′
Sky comes tumblin' down


I used to worry about the job that I had
I barely made enough to survive
But man, I'm worried about the life that I live
Sometimes I barely made it home alive

But now I don′t need to worry
No need to rush, there′s no need to hurry
You don't need a new job, you don′t need a new wife
You don't need to go far in your life

Little girl, I wanna know
What you look for in a man
Does he have a lot of money
Even more than you can spend?

I just wanna be around
When the big world hits the ground
I don′t wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin'
Sky comes tumblin′ down

I used to play in a dead end band
I always ended up on my own
But now I play in a skeleton band
Nothing but skin and bones


Oh no, I don't need sedation
I got my daily dose of radiation
We get together on a Saturday night
And watch each other's hair fall out

Little girl, I wanna know
What you look for in a man
Does he sell a lot of records
With his Californian band?

I just wanna be around
When the big world hits the ground
I don′t wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin′
Sky comes tumblin' down

I don′t wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin' down
I just wanna be around
When the big world hits the ground

I don′t wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin' down
I just wanna be around
