they told me this was crazy
they told me expect the worst
they told me this is gonna haunt you someday
they told me this is gonna hurt
we start out just like angels
we start out just like good
we end up just like free fall
and it ends up we knock on wood

hallelujah baby
i'm falling for you
hallelujah it's a long way down
hallelujah baby
i'm falling for you
i'll see you round in the downtown

they told me they could save me
they told me in so many words
they told me they didn't blame me
with my face lying down in the dirt
we start out paint by number
we start out by the book
we end up in a world of wonder
wondering why everything looks so good

hallelujah baby
i'm falling for you
hallelujah it's a long way down
hallelujah baby
i'm falling for you
i'll see you round in the downtown

they told me this was crazy
they told me don't be absurd
they told me you're gonna regret this someday
and no one will know what you heard
we start out just like angels
we start out just like god
we end up just like free fall
and it ends up we knock on wood

hallelujah baby
i'm falling for you
hallelujah it's a long way down
hallelujah baby
i'm falling for you
i'll see you round in the downtown
