Through The Cracks

She got married too young, got sad and crashed the car
He was a boy at the window
With a dicky heart and a catalogue guitar
They met on the day they blew up the fence
Childhood gone in a dynamite blast
She found herself taking bites
Jesus stared and said

Let's go falling
Let's go falling
Let's go falling through the cracks
The planet's burning, the lives are churning
The apes have got sticks, and they're coming in the morning
So let's go falling, falling through the cracks

They got it together, they pulled it apart
They did all the things that you do in the dark
She said: I could tell, 'cause you carry the bomb
You know the deal begins at the start
The future's out to get you, and so is the past
All you can do is keep your foot on the gas
So let's make tracks and be done with it all
Let the stars collide and the synthesizer fall

Let's go falling
Let's go falling
Let's go falling through the cracks
The planet's burning, the lives are churning
The apes have got stakes, and they're coming in the morning
So let's go falling, falling through the cracks

Who makes the pills that take the pain
And make it soft as falling rain
That falls upon your face and mine
Steals our senses, swallows lives
And sends them falling?
See them falling
Oh, they are falling
Through the cracks

I tried so hard to catch you
To pull you from the depths
But the little kings of industry
They'd set you in their plans
But I will not forget you, my legendary ones
I see you in your innocence, I see you in the sun
One day we'll together, though you're far beyond the world
Together and forever, we will sing your greatest song

Let's go falling
Let's go falling
Let's go falling through the cracks
The planet's burning, the lives are churning
The apes have got stakes, and they're coming in the morning
So let's go falling, falling through the cracks

I'm not waiting at your bus stop, I'm not standing in your queue
You can fuck good morning break, and all the papers too
I'm not standing for your nonsense, I'm not kneeling for your cash
I've got streaks, and I've got hair, and I've got buckets of panache
I'm not standing for your anthem, I'm not singing for you again
I'm not dancing on your ice, I'm not giving up my sins
You're never gonna catch me, you're never gonna try
'Cause deep down inside you love me on the slide
