lyrics

Falling down
The Dark Wave
Not a sound
Can't make it go away.

Falling down
The Dark Wave
All around
Can't make it go away

Don't step aboard the lazy susan.
Ignore the lies: "Ignore the shootings."
"Enjoy the smell."
It's just as well.
There'll be flies buzzing 'round, they're coming 'round.

tongues wag in this town
(we're going down)
tongues wag in this town
they lick the lips on the ground
but when the shit is going down:
they never can be found.

We're falling down. The Dark Wave.
Falling down
Can't make it go away.

You've got no soul to sell
It's just as well.
You've got no soul to sell
That's what you'll tell
to the men in town
They're sure to come around.

So don't you board their lazy susan.
Ignore the lies
Everybody's poopin
Enjoy the smell
It's just as well
There'll be flies buzzing 'round
They're coming 'round

tongues wag in this town
(we're going down)
tongues wag in this town
they shake the dog all around
they split its head on the ground
but when the blood trickles down:
they never can be found.
so call them out

We're falling down!

What kind of life have we found?
When better days won't come around
Until we learn
to tear it down.
