With people standing 'round

Because I'm falling down
Why has the sky turned gray?
With people standing 'round
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
Is there time? Could I find
Because I'm falling down
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me
Is there time? Could I find

Howling at all this corrosion
Caught inside its own motion

But here and now it's a different storyline

But before I hit the ground
Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
Like the straw he is clutching
Someone out there to help me?
Because I'm falling down
Is there time? Could I find
And why has my life gone astray?
Scarred by disgrace, I know that it's over
But before I hit the ground

How I wish it was somebody else instead
With people standing 'round
Someone out there to help me?
Why did the luck run dry
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
But before I hit the ground
I don't know, here I go
Someone out there to help me?
I don't know why
