A Graceful Fall
John Mellencamp
[Intro] [Verse] It’s not a graceful fall from dreams to the truth There’s not a lot of hope here if you got nothing’ to lose When it feels no good when you’re flat on the ground Yeah the future’s not bright when you’re fallin’ down [Chorus] ’Cause I’m sick of life yeah it’s easy to do When everything that’s so hard has been handed to you Yeah I’m sick of life ’cause it’s lost its form I’ll see you in the next world if there is really one [Verse] Well I’m not falling up the ladder I’m just puttin’ in my days My pockets are empty and my aces won’t play Yeah I’m movin’ down the street and I’m goin’ nowhere It’s not a graceful fall when you don’t care [Chorus] ’Cause I’m sick of life yeah it’s easy to do When everything that’s so hard has been handed to you Yeah I’m sick of life ’cause it’s lost its form I’ll see you in the next world if there is really one Yeah I’m sick of life ’cause I’m fallin’ down I’ll see you in the next world if you’re still around
