Falling Down

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Before a record of the sunset
After the fires before the celeste
Had keyed and rung her chimey two-step
A from the mountain sprung the forest

[Verse 2]
Spirit wings for flight is all wound
Language from a lip yet unfound
The hour drowned, the leaves have spread their rounds
Before the borders ever knew ground

[Chorus]
I keep on falling down
Keep on falling down
Keep on falling down

[Verse 3]
So lo in crept to infect
As they wept and slept, then ingest
Things that men prefer to forget
Than peer into a glass of reflect

[Bridge]
Am I seen to all my dead kin?
When death floats near
Are they the ones that shout in my ear?

[Verse 4]
Confederate river ghosts come lie down
Inhale the earth's breath, that's your bed now
You're of hummingbird and quasar
The cannonball has flown its arc now

[Outro]
To be found by the plow
Years from now
Keep on falling down
