Daniel Levitin - Headed for the Fall

When I was a child, I never learned to swim
But I jumped right in that water if I was buckled in
You know that life life jacket, held me oh so high
And I'd ride and glide and go so far
While it held me by

Headed for the fall
Down down down as I start to lose it all
Headed for the fall

You know my life's like that drowning pool
I'm in the deep end
I've got a bucket full of troubles
And they're pulling me in
Rescue me I cry, as I try to stand tall
And it all goes to pieces as I'm headed for the fall

Headed for the fall
Down down down as I start to lose it all
Headed for the fall

There's a ripple on the ocean
And a gull is gliding slow
Sometimes I get the notion
That I'm headed down below

Headed for the fall
Down down down as I start to lose it all
Headed for the fall

Now there's a sleek gleaming bird
And his heart beats so fast
And he flies around the world
To make his short life last
Chain me to that bird, let me fly above the clouds
Before I'm pulled back in, to that dark sea of doubts

Headed for the fall
Down down down and I start to lose it all
Headed for the fall
Headed for the fall
