Before The Moon Falls Lyrics - It's The New Thing! The Step Forward Years - Fall

Shhhh 

We are private detectives onward back from a musical pilgrimage 

We work under the name of the Fall. 

Who would suspect this? 

It is too obvious. 

Our office is secluded. 

Those there to suspect 

Would not see the wood for the trees 

We were six like dice but we're back to five 

Up here in the North there are no wage packet jobs for us 

Thank Christ 

While young married couples discuss the poverties 

Of their self-built traps 

And the junior clergy demand more cash 

We spit in their plate and wait for the ice to melt 

I must create a new regime 

Or live by another man's 

Before the moon falls 

I must create a new scheme 

And get out of others' hands 

Before the moon falls 

I could use some pure criminals 

And get my hands on some royalties 

Before the moon falls 

A problem of this new scheme 

Is answering obscene phone calls 

Before the moon falls 

Gotta stop drifting around 

Kill this ugly duckling 

We've got the power 

And must not misuse it 

'cause life is short and full of thought 

I use the power 

And will forever end this reign of terror 

Before the moon falls 

Before the tide subsides 

Before the moon falls for the fifth time 

Before The Fall swoons
