Lyrics

ALL FALL DOWN
Words and Music by Ingrid MacDonald

Burning wood in a drum
Under a bridge
Getting high
Staying stoned
Nothing left
Empty bottles
Broken bones

You’re still our son
That won’t change
Want you to know
Ice gets thin
Wooden crosses
Down that road

And we all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
In this bloody town
On the cold, cold ground
We all fall down

You go to her house
Even though you know
She moved to Toronto
Her mother’s still there
She’ll give you cigarettes
She’ll ask you
“Please just go."

It’s not regret
That we feel
It’s something deeper
In our bones
Lost in the woods
Night is falling
Too far from home

And we all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
In this bloody town
On the cold, cold ground
We all fall down

You steal someone’s car
And you drive
The Northern Line
Chasing trains
And staying
Out of your mind

Will you go too far this time?
Will you leave it all behind?
Red flashing lights
And the arms of a stranger

And we all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
In this bloody town
On the cold, cold ground
We all fall down
