Artist: Fish
Album: Raingods With Zippos

Lyrics

It's just a matter of time a figure of speech that springs to mind throughout the day
As the minutes go by, a second thought, a moment lost, time ticks away
And everything changes, forever never lasts, no such thing as always,it's all too soon the past

Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Raingods with zippos, a tin man with a heart
An end with no beginning, a race without a start
That you'll never win, that you cannot lose and you fall apart

Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

The tarot declares a motion made a finger traps an empty glass

The needles begin to make their mark, you try to hide, you're leaving tracks

I dream of fire and water, dream of deserts, dream up plans
Like mountains and castles they're only grains of sand that

Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Raingods with zippos, a tin man's bleeding heart
An end with no beginning, a race without a start
That you'll never win, that you cannot lose and you fall apart

And tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown
Tumbledown, tumbledown, tumble, tumble, tumbledown

Dick, simmonds (fishy music ltd 1998)
