Yes I've been without, been down and out
Out on a limb with nowhere to go
I was told it would be one less thing on my mind

Not to worry about, all the paying out
The piles of bills and final demands
They'd all be sorted when I die

I was going off the rails, no matter how I tried
If all else fails failed and part of me just died
And nothing ever changes, forever stuck on my tune
Baby I was born to lose

Then my luck came in, I got a lucky win
Hundreds of thousands and thousands of friends
Had no more worries for a time

Didn't care about if I was paying out
Its there to enjoy, have it on me
Can't take it with you when you die

I was back on happy trails, I didn't have to try
The wind was in my sails, I was so happy I could cry
Cos "nothing changes" changed
I felt like time was on my side
I was happy and I really felt alive

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down
I'm crawling around on the ground
I've been wondering, wondering why
Wondering why life's so up and down

A sense of irony sweeping over me
Back in the jug again ain't that swell
Incurable nothing I could buy

Don't want no policy, to totally cover me
No hidden small print to sell my soul to hell
No parting gesture to say goodbye

Well you can stick your bonds and bails
where the sun don't shine
I'm not going to be pleasant, you can think what you like
Cos if it ever changes it goes from bad to worse
I might as well face it man I'm cursed

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down
I'm crawling around on the ground
I've been wondering, wondering why
Wondering why life's so up and down
When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down
I'm crawling around on the ground
I've been wondering, wondering why
Wondering why life's so up and down
