When The Sky Comes Tumblin' Down

I used to search for the idle girl

The perfect little prettiness

I used to search for the idle world

Don't ever think it don't exist

So many times I been so afraid

So many ways I felt so betrayed

We get together on a Saturday night

And watch the whole world cave in

Little girl I want to know what you look got in a man

Is he tall, dark, and handsome with continental tan

She said

I just want to be around when the big one hits the ground

I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin', sky comes tumblin' down

I used to worry about the job that I had

I barely made enough to survive

And man I worried bout the life that I lived

Sometimes I barely made it home alive

But now I don't need to worry

No need to rush

There's no needy to hurry

You don't need a new job

You don't need a new wife

You don't need to go far in your lief

Little girl I want to know what you look got in a man

Does he have allot of money, even more then you can spend

She said

I just want to be around when the big one hits the ground

I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin', sky comes tumblin' down



I used to play in a dead end band

I always had it up on my own

But now I play in a skeleton band

Nothing but skin and bones

I know I don't sedation

I got my daddy ducked for radiation

We get together on a Saturday night

And watch each others hair fall out

Little girl I want to know what you look got in a man

Does he shed allot of records with his head up on his hand

I just want to be around when the big one hits the ground

I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin', sky comes tumblin' down

I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin' down
