"Fall Guy" lyrics - PAUL KELLY
On slippery ice he's skating
But he don't have a care
Beneath his feet its breaking
But his head's in the air
Everyone's anticipating
He's gonna take a dive
Turn down your conversations
Here comes the fall guy
Here comes that fall guy
Here comes that fall guy
I know I shouldn't ought to
Reach for illusion
Just like a lamb to the slaughter
I only see confusion
Everyone's in expectation
This head is gonna roll
Turn down your conversations
Here comes the fall guy
You can't help bad luck oh no
You can't help bad luck oh no
You can't help bad luck oh no
But it's a fool who puts his head in a frame
On slippery ice he's skating
But he don't have a care
Beneath his feet its breaking
But his head's in the air
Everyone's anticipating
He's gonna take a dive
Turn down your conversations
Here comes the fall guy
You can't help bad luck oh no
You can't help bad luck oh no
You can't help bad luck oh no
Here comes that fall guy
You can't help bad luck oh no
Here comes that fall guy
[Repeat to fade]
