lyrics

Three Pennies Falling

She's a lamb ripe for slaughter
but she doesn't care,
there's no use for any scare tactics here.
She's a prodigal daughter,
lost by herself, and losing who she used to be
for the man who would save her,
who gave her, a boxful of promises and dreams
that in the end are just pennies,
pennies cast into a fountainless stream

While over and over again,
We keep on falling.

He's a man out for something
but brother, he's scared
that there's nothing but nothing to see.
And the lights that had called him
are truck stops and signs telling him
where he can't be.
If his father could see him, believe him,
he'd drop all his bundles of grief,
even if they're just pennies,
pennies lost under a passenger seat

While over and over again,
We keep on falling.

Falling fast, straight for the sun
Falling so slow, there's nowhere to run.

It's the damn pressure talking,
of that I'm aware,
but there's too much at stake here to lose.
And I'm growing complacent,
and soon must I choose,
or be chewed up all mercilessly.
But what can I do?
For I'm just a penny falling, falling, falling...

Falling fast, straight for the sun
Falling so slow, there's nowhere to run.
