lyrics

The cold it could chase me in circles
Steal my eyes from the verses I saw
As we jump off of London Bridge
And get lost in the fog
But the water can't hold us forever
I'd rather be eaten than drown
We sneeze and we shake
Then we all fall down

So we throw all our cards on the table
Counting birds on the wires
While all the king's horses and all the king's men
Keep drawing their lines in the sand

Then we all fall down
Yes, we all fall down

Never bargained for this broken window
Or for Little Boy Blue as a friend
So we pick our our pails and we march up that hill
As we wait for the rainstorm to end
And it might be contrary to Mary
But I'd rather be eaten than drown
We sneeze and we shake
Then we all fall down

So we throw all our cards on the table
Counting birds on the wires
While all the king's horses and all the king's men
Keep drawing their lines in the sand

Then we all fall down
Yes, we all fall down
