about

My brother Billy wrote the music and I put a vocal melody and lyrics to it. Was supposed to be for a movie or some such thing that evaporated into the ether.....

lyrics

Born by the side of the road
'Twas the morning of our lives
Learned how to speak in code
to shroud our monkeyshines
You know we never knew better
And we never wanted to...
Now we've fallen thru....

Raised on "I don't care"
Makes life an easy go
Dad says, "life's unfair...
and it's better that you know
that there's no free lunches
only heartache and punches
that you get used to...."
Now we've fallen thru
Heaven Forfend
Now we've fallen thru....

While you were out, I was in
By your drowning I could swim
You came up and I was gone
and it all went fuckin' wrong...

Now we've fallen thru
Heaven forfend
Now we've fallen thru...

Rub my chest with broken glass
Just to feel the sting
Of each and every gasp
When I am born again
you know we never knew better
And we never wanted to...
Now we've fallen thru
Heaven forfend
Now we've fallen thru....

-CJC
