Take the Fall

Forget about Norman
Small town Rockwell
Scenes of simple life
Forget about savings and poignant phrasings,
Cigarettes and schoolyard fights
Let us out now Lord of our speed and fancy
Of our 'can you hear me' now's and our techno loves
Drop us off on 55th and keep us reading Vonnegut
Point out now what we're careless of

My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they're setting so
Forgive me
If I'm so ordinary with extraordinary reasons to live
It's just like a boy to save his honor and his money
It's just like a girl to feel
It's just like a child to stand and interrupt us all
And say I'll gladly take the fall for you

Now love, love, love, yes
It's all you need
John and Paul Ringo George profess
If I've got love
I can feel I can remember every meal
But like a gift it can be taken all away

My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they're setting so
Forgive me
If I'm so ordinary with extraordinary reasons to live
It's just like a boy to save his honor and his money
It's just like a girl to feel
It's just like a child to stand and interrupt us all
And say I'll gladly take the fall for you

I'll gladly take the fall for you
