Friend, You've Got To Fall Lyrics - Husker Du

Well, well, I can hear the treetops in the distance 

I can see your hollowed eyes 

What have you done to yourself in this instance? 

I guess it comes as no surprise 

Well, I can see the billboards in the distance 

Writing is on every wall 

Oh, I don't wanna know about your business 

Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall 

Well, every night it's gotta be adventure 

The way you live your life's a crime 

And if you're guilty, will you serve the sentence? 

You're already doing time 

There's nothing wrong with having aspirations 

Nothing wrong with walking tall 

But if misfortune deals the consequences 

Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall 

I know the difference, and you keep your distance 

I don't wanna know what you've got 

Is it pathetic to be sympathetic? 

Maybe you don't wanna get caught 

Caught up in something that's real 

Could last for a lifetime 

Nothing like, nothing like the disease 

Disease that's in your mind 

Well, I know the difference 

There's nothing wrong with having aspirations 

Nothing wrong with walking tall 

But if misfortune deals the consequences 

Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall 

Well, I can see your life disintegrating 

Into ashes in your hand 

And I know you wouldn't wanna tell me 

What is wrong 'cause you're a man 

And I can see the billboards in the distance 

Writing is on every wall 

I don't wanna know about your business 

Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall 

You've got to fall 

You've got to fall 

You've got to fall
