I`ve been playing out of tune Sittin` smug in my balloon Strung out on my long phoney life Cheated on your test You thought I gave my best But I hid it all Afraid of what you`d find
I evangelized good will Kept my fingers in the till Masquerade of truth Upon my face But now I`m lonely, scared to death I can hardly catch my breath Suffocating in my own embrace
And come the fall Oh, come the fall When it`s all said and done When you`ve played your game thru The only one you`ve got is you The end of a series of one Come the fall
So take a look inside your soul Sort out all the things you stole Return them to their owners if you can Things like trust, love, and time The other person`s place in line If you tell the truth I think they`ll understand
And come the fall Oh, come the fall When it`s all said and done When you`ve played your game thru The only one you`ve got is you The end of a series of one Come the fall
