All Fall Down
Composer(s): Phil Bates - Bev Bevan
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



What can you tell me, of the perfect man
What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand
We lose our grip, we glide and stall
Some things come easy, some don't come at all

We chip away at the perfect man
What can you show me, now I don't quite understand
Eye to eye nothing left to say
But will you really throw it all away

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Things go wrong, though are strong
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, we all fall down
Sometime....

No matter how we try to keep things straight
It makes no difference, while we cause our fate
We burn our candle unaware
While on our knees we cry in prayer

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Pain wont last, this too shall pass
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, time and time, again

But ahhhh
If it's so simple then explain to me
How pain is so close to ecstasy
How change can make you feel so free

Ahhhh
If we were meant to be such perfect fools
Then why do we always break the rules
Crashing through life's scenery

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Angry cries and desperate lies
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Hearts to mend, sun comes up again
