Duran Duran - Falling Down lyrics

Once was a man who consumed his place and time

He thought nothing could touch him

But here and now it’s a different storyline

Like the straw he is clutching

Why has the sky turned grey

Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder

And why has my life gone astray

Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over

Because I’m falling down

With people standing round

But before I hit the ground

Is there time

Could I find someone out there to help me?

Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head

Caught inside its own motion

How I wish it was somebody else instead

Howling at all this corrosion

Why did the luck run dry

Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me

Why do the cruel barbs fly?

Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me

Because I’m falling down

With people standing round

But before I hit the ground

Is there time

Could I find someone out there to help me?

Because I’m falling down

With people standing round

But before I hit the ground

Is there time

Could I find someone out there to help me?

I don't know. Why?
