Fa-la-la Lyrics - Vic Chesnutt

Fa-la-la is running around 

All over the grounds of the hospital 

I was watching for her 

Like some people watch birds 

From the window of my hospital room 

I was trapped and tired 

She was as free as I'd ever found 

The embodiment of life force 

In a hospital gown 

Yeah, I could feel my body healing 

I would crank up the head 

Of my hospital bed 

All the way up 

When they would wake me at dawn 

Then I'd gaze out at the lawn 

Waiting on my sad soul medicine

I was trapped and tired 

She was as free as I'd ever found 

The embodiment of life force 

In a hospital gown 

Yeah, I could feel my body healing 

And a nurse would come and see me 

Everyday 

And my folks are on their way 

To see me home 

But I don't want to go 

No I don't want to go 

Fa-la-la is running around 

All over the grounds of the hospital 

As they are loading me up 

Into the cab of my daddy's truck 

For our long ride home 

Photos 

Only a fool wouldn't be happy 

To leave this cold institution 

For a warm and loving home 

But I feel like I'm drying up 

Deep down in my bones 

Yes, I don't want to go 

No I don't want to go
