How to Take a Fall
it's one word cover to cover
it's an endless fuse
chain repeater never seems to get any smarter
I'm always marking pages so that I don't get confused
and end up in a fight I never had any part of
little naive plaything coming over clueless every time you call
an accident waiting to happen
still hasn't found out how to take a fall
make me a precedent
make it something sweet
small enough to go unnoticed and big enough to come compete
with the massive past it keeps blocking up my street
looking for a new contender to disassemble
listen naive plaything
coming over, clueless
every time you call
an accident just waiting to happen
still hasn't found out
how to take a fall
how to take a fall
how to take a fall
