E
I live in a building where nobody knows me,
B
I go to bed early, I sleep in my clothes.
At night I hear screaming down in the street,
A E
I dream that I'm slipping, I reach for my feet.
B A E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
B A E
Oh no, down we go again.
E
I fill in the holes in my vision with dexedrine,
the landscape spins sideways, the movies and magazines
B
whisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces
A E
surely my neighbors and friends have ther purposes here.
E
The building is maddening, thirty floors high
B
they are building a needle that pierces the sky
A
like a cold vaccination, like a smile through a polaroid,
surely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed.
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
Oh no, down we go again.
E B
Lend me a leaf from the rill, lifting the dreams from you,
E
they sift through the meshes of the ancient afternoon.
E B
Leave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your smile,
B A B
and listen to the breaking, all the buildings we are making will be gone.
A E A E
Precious, we are falling down, falling down,
catch us.
