The Waterboys - Everybody Takes a Tumble lyrics

To break your heart into rubble Is what I'm here to do I've got nothing but trouble, babe In store for you I've got one eye fixed on the main chance One hand behind your back And you just stumbled blind, babe Right into my track And that's when you fell so low Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know? That's when you fell so low Pick yourself off the floor before you go There's vengeance in my belly Slime on both my shoes And everything bad that you ever heard About little old me is true My trigger finger is itchy My humour is black And you just stumbled blind, babe Right into my track And that's when you fell so low Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know? That's when you fell so low Pick yourself off the floor before you go Now the devil drives a hard bargain Preacher burns his hands Fireman makes a sermon Lord surveys his lands Huck Finn just went out for sticks He ain't coming back And you just stumbled blind babe Right into my track And that's when you fell so low Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know? That's when you fell so low Pick yourself off the floor before you go Faces start-a shining Flags begin to sway Would you believe I came a long distance To be with you today Your crooked partner He just got the sack And you just stumbled blind babe Right into my track And that's when you fell so low Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know? That's when you fell so low Pick yourself off the floor before you go
