And Then We Fell Lyrics - Brian Vander Ark - Brian Vander Ark

When the bough broke we were crossing America 

You with your stories and me hanging on 

Your hands on the wheel and your hair out the window 

It's counterfeit color danced in the September air 

When the bough broke we were flirting with Canada 

You said prove that you love me and live with me there 

And leave all of the frivolous back in America 

You found true love in a picture that you saw somewhere 

He took her hand, they did cartwheels right into the air 

And then they fell 

With the bough broken, we're lost in America 

(Driving in circles and circles and chasing our tails) 

You with your politics, me hanging on 

(Driving in circles and circles and circles and...) 

I think I know of the picture that you saw somewhere 

The fire below, they did cartwheels right into the air 

And then they fell 

(Layers of concrete won't dampen the roar of the 

Chaos beneath those ninety-something floors 

And the weight of the waves as they crashed on the shore 

Left a cool breeze past the buildings 

And so they fell) 

Why can't you just sit there is all that I wanted to say 

So, we're obsessed with celebrity and all the frivolity 

And all the while gravity's pulling us straight into Hell 

And so we fell 

My silence was broken, through glorious peaks of Montana 

Now, this is America, I muttered under my breath
