Verse]
E
I live in a building where nobody knows me,
D
I go to bed early, I sleep in my clothes.
A
At night I hear screaming down in the street,
D A
I dream that I'm slipping, I reach for my fe-et.
[Chorus]
B A E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
B A E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
D A E
Oh no, down we go again.
D A E
Oh no, down we go again.
[Verse]
E
I fill in the holes in my vision with dexedrine,
E
the landscape spins sideways, the movies and magazines
D
whisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces
A E
surely my neighbors and friends have ther purposes here.
E
The building is maddening, thirty floors high
D
they are building a needle that pierces the sky
A
like a cold vaccination, like a smile through a polaroid,
A
surely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed.
[Chorus]
B A E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
B A E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
D A E
Oh no, down we go again.
D A E
Oh no, down we go again.
D A E
Ohh ohhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
D A
Oh no, down we go, so
[Verse]
E D
Lend me a leaf from the rill, lifting the dreams from you,
E
they sift through the meshes of the ancient afternoon.
E D
Leave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your smile,
D A B
and listen to the breaking, all the buildings we are making will be gone.
