Come Tumblin' Down - Colin Hay

I dropped a coin in the wishing well

It’s been a long time dry

I watched that ol' greyhound bus kick up dust

As it rolls on by

I asked the man in the station

He said man just take a look around

We haven’t had a train through here

Since it all came tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Come tumblin' down

I’m not a drinkin' man no more

But this one night I got lost

I’ve never been much of a dancer

But this I surely was

I made it out to the cottonwoods

Slept with my ear down to the ground

And in my dreams I could hear the screams

As it all came tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' come tumblin'

Come tumblin' down

The corridors are all empty

And there’s a child sitting on the stairs

She’s seen everything there is to see

And somehow she still cares

We took a ride on the ferris wheel

Built from glass and steel and such

Now it’s melting in the sun

And it’s not worth all that much

Tumblin' down

I raise my hands up to the sky

Tumblin' down

As we climb to higher ground

Tumblin' down

Let’s just keep on dancing

Tumblin' down

Until it all comes tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down come tumblin' come tumblin'

Come tublin' down
