Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman Signing his love letter best wishes Simpleton Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs He knew better that perfume was gravity Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind
You better catch me when I fall I'm on my roller skates Cause any ole way that I fall I land in your arms even though it's wrong Cause I love my new mistake
Intermission gave way to a miracle The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle That didn't wait, her mother was three weeks late So Father Mason clutching his crucifix Baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice What a lovely way, drowning sins in tooth decay
Looks like our hero's gonna fall The boughs are bound to break Cause any old way that I fall I'll be in your arms as we lie awake with our lovely new mistake
You better catch me when I fall My sugar trampoline Cause any old way that I fall I land in your arms even though it's wrong Cause I love my new mistake
The ending turned tragic when many years later The baby had grown up and married a pop singer I think it was her turn to make her first mistake Any old time at all Any old way that I fall I just lie awake with my new mistake
