All Fall Down Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra Part II

What can you tell me of the perfect man?
What can you tell now, I don′t quite understand
We lose our grip, we glide and stall
Some things come easy, some don't come at all

We chip away at the perfect man
What can you show me, now I don′t quite understand
Eye to eye nothing left to say
But will you really throw it all away?

We trip, we stumble and we all fall down
Things go wrong though are strong
We slip, we fumble and we all break down
Round and round, we all fall down, sometime


No matter how we try to keep things straight
It makes no difference while we cause our fate
We burn our candles unaware
While on our knees we cry in prayer

We trip, we stumble and we all fall down
Pain won't last, this too shall pass
We slip, we fumble and we all break down
Round and round, time and time, again

But ohh, if it's so simple then explain to me
How pain is so close to ecstasy?
How changes can make you feel so free?

Ohh, if we were meant to be such perfect fools
Then why do we always break the rules?
Crashing through life′s scenery

We trip, we stumble and we all fall down
Angry cries and desperate lies
We slip, we tumble and we all break down
But hearts to mend, sun comes up, again

Thank you
