|
Curtain opens, spot lights the gentleman |
|
Signing his love letter best wishes Simpleton |
|
Dialog swam from his pen like polliwogs |
|
He knew better that perfume was gravity |
|
Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy |
|
Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind |
|
You better catch me when I fall |
|
I'm on my roller skates |
|
'Cause any ol' way that I fall |
|
I land in your arms even though it's wrong |
|
'Cause I love my new mistake |
|
Intermission gave way to a miracle |
|
The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle |
|
That couldn't wait, the mother was three weeks late |
|
So Father Mason, clutching his crucifix |
|
Baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice |
|
What a lovely way, drowning sins in tooth decay |
|
Looks like our hero's gonna fall |
|
The bow's about to break |
|
'Cause any ol' way that I fall |
|
I'll be in your arms as we lie awake |
|
With our lovely new mistake |
|
You better catch me when I fall |
|
My sugar trampoline |
|
'Cause any ol' way that I fall |
|
I land in your arms even though it's wrong |
|
'Cause I love my new mistake |
|
The ending turned tragic when many years later |
|
The baby had grown up and married a pop singer |
|
I think it was her turn to make her first mistake |
|
Any ol' time at fall, any ol' way that I fall |
|
Any ol' time at fall, any ol' way that I fall |
|
Any ol' time at fall, any ol' way that I fall |
|
Any ol' time at fall, any ol' way that I fall |
|
Any ol' time at fall, any ol' way that I fall |
|
Any ol' time at fall |
