When The Sky Comes Tumblin' Down
I used to search for the idle girl
The perfect little prettiness
I used to search for the idle world
Don't ever think it don't exist
So many times I been so afraid
So many ways I felt so betrayed
We get together on a Saturday night
And watch the whole world cave in
Little girl I want to know what you look got in a man
Is he tall, dark, and handsome with continental tan
She said
I just want to be around when the big one hits the ground
I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin', sky comes tumblin' down
I used to worry about the job that I had
I barely made enough to survive
And man I worried bout the life that I lived
Sometimes I barely made it home alive
But now I don't need to worry
No need to rush
There's no needy to hurry
You don't need a new job
You don't need a new wife
You don't need to go far in your lief
Little girl I want to know what you look got in a man
Does he have allot of money, even more then you can spend
She said
I just want to be around when the big one hits the ground
I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin', sky comes tumblin' down
I used to play in a dead end band
I always had it up on my own
But now I play in a skeleton band
Nothing but skin and bones
I know I don't sedation
I got my daddy ducked for radiation
We get together on a Saturday night
And watch each others hair fall out
Little girl I want to know what you look got in a man
Does he shed allot of records with his head up on his hand
I just want to be around when the big one hits the ground
I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin', sky comes tumblin' down
I don't want to make a sound when the sky comes tumblin' down
