[Verse]
E I live in a building where nobody knows me, D I go to bed early, I sleep in my clothes. A At night I hear screaming down in the street, D A I dream that I'm slipping, I reach for my fe-et.
[Chorus]
B A E Precious, we are falling down, catch us. B A E Precious, we are falling down, catch us. D A E Oh no, down we go again. D A E Oh no, down we go again.
[Verse]
E I fill in the holes in my vision with dexedrine, E the landscape spins sideways, the movies and magazines D whisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces A E surely my neighbors and friends have ther purposes here. E The building is maddening, thirty floors high D they are building a needle that pierces the sky A like a cold vaccination, like a smile through a polaroid, A surely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed.
[Chorus]
B A E Precious, we are falling down, catch us. B A E Precious, we are falling down, catch us. D A E Oh no, down we go again. D A E Oh no, down we go again. D A E Ohh ohhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh D A Oh no, down we go, so
[Verse]
E D Lend me a leaf from the rill, lifting the dreams from you, E they sift through the meshes of the ancient afternoon. E D Leave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your smile, D A B and listen to the breaking, all the buildings we are making will be gone.
