The Art Of Falling Down - Keith Emerson Band, Marc Bonilla

Well, you can jump the guns and corners

To save your place

It’ll never hide the guilt that’s on your face

And you can duck and dodge and scramble

And make that sound

It’ll never match the art of falling down

Wishing it away will call them all to stay

Well, you blame the slings and arrows

That curse this fate

And it still won’t shave the cost of coming late

Never a clean escape

Becoming what you hate

And you can justify the cause and nail across to it

But you need to get lost to get you found

And it’s a long drink of faith 'till you believe it

And you come across the art of falling down

Turning it away invites them all to stay

You can light yourself a candle to ease your pain

It’ll never find the song to sing your name

Ain’t it a burning shame

Enough to drive you sane

Chasing it away will call them back to play

You can fly your righteous angels

On a golden chain

But it’s a harder fall than landing on your blade

And you can call it by it’s name and put an end to it

But it’ll never change the art of falling down

Falling Down…
