Tiny Voices
You wild beasts and you creeping thingsGet down in your place,Down with all the absolutesAnd God's awful grace.Who wants to see this coming?Who wants to think you do?Better to be blind when I'mFalling for youGo and tell old PharaohHis time has come about,His pretty houseboys laugh and singAs they're filing out.They set fire behind themI see it burning into view,High upon the mountain where I'mFalling for youAll manner of abandonIs just the thing we need,Get ready for the country, boys,The town has gone to seed.The telephone line is saggingWith word coming through:Put your head between your knees, I'mFalling for youLetras de cancionesI can quit this anytime,It's just to help me sleep,It stops the tiny voicesAnd strange hours that they keep.Who wants to hear them bleating on,And have to answer too?Better to be dumb when I'mFalling for youSo you ladies and you gentlemen--Pull your bloomers on,Swing up on the highest beamAnd let the floods come on.Who wants to be there wondering,When the Wonders rage on through?Better to say never when I'mFalling for you From Letras Mania
