Cheap, but it's hard.

When one lowers one's guard to the vultures.

Now me i'm regarded, but torturous hardship that smolders.

Like a peppermint, eaten away.

Will i fight? will i swagger or sway?

Hee hee, m'lady. she cries like a baby to scolders.

See her tumbling down.(tumbling down)

See her tumbling down (tumbling down)

Hail to the monkey, we're having a funky reunion.

Wasted and sunk, he can only have sunday communion.

He's got nicotine stains in his eyes.

He's got nothing to protect but his pride.

Oh, smother a kiss or be drowned in blissful confusion.

See her tumbling down.(tumbling down)

Juvenile tale, see the Titanic sail into Brighton

The Hemingway stacatto, the tragic bravado can frighten

To be here, there and everywhere's fine

But do you have to be so swift all the time

Deliver the dawn to the Moulin-Rouge on the horizon

Watch it tumbling down, tumbling down

Tumbling down, tumbling down

Oh dear, look what they've done to the blues, blues, blu
