The Waterboys Everybody Takes A Tumble Lyrics

To break your heart into pieces
is what I'm here to do
I've got nothing but trouble
in store for you
I've got one eye fixed on the main chance
one hand behind your back
and you just stumbled blind, babe
right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know ?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
There's vengeance in my belly
slime on both my shoes
and everything bad that you ever heard
about little old me is true
My trigger finger is itchy
my humour is black
and you just stumbled blind, babe
right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know ?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
Now the devil drives a hard bargain
preacher burns his hands
fireman makes a sermon
lord surveys his lands
Huck Finn just went out for sticks
he ain't coming back
and you just stumbled blind, babe
right into my track

And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know ?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
Brush is back in the ballrooms
Philo's M.I.A.
Sinead O'Connor is the guest of honour
and The Blades are going to play
Old Van Morrison's moanin'
something 'bout a copycat
and you just stumbled blind, babe
right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know ?
That's when you fell so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
Faces start-a shining
flags begin to sway
Would you believe I came a long distance
to be with you today
Your crooked partner
he just got the sack
and you just stumbled blind babe
right into my track
And that's when you fell so low
Everybody takes a tumble,
don't you know ?
That's when you feel so low
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
