[Verse 1]
Call a code, call the brakeman
Were you in love? Were you mistaken?
Just like the other bleeding hearts
The threads of me were picked apart

[Verse 2]
Nothing gained, nothing ventured
You had a face you never mentioned
I don't know what we're waiting for
Let's go to bed or go to war

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got two little birds caged right here in my ribs
To keep them safe from saboteurs and arsonists
I was built for any kind of weather
Anyone can fall apart, let's fall together

[Verse 3]
It's a script, it's a rhythm
The leaden road to be forgiven
So send the children back to bed
And draw these crosses on our heads

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got two little birds caged right here in my ribs
To keep them safe from saboteurs and arsonists
I was built for any kind of weather
Anyone can fall apart, let's fall together
[Outro]
Chain smoking, Bible quoting, dressed for a funeral
Pray for us Icarus, been talking with our mouths full
(Let's fall together)
Call up the law 'cause I'm betting on a fight
If we're gonna do it then we're gonna do it right
(Let's fall together)
I'll be your quicksilver, Red River, jonesing for some good luck
Watch your back my darling, every girl out there is moonstruck
(Let's fall together)
Hand me that bottle, everybody's on the make
I've seen your sort before and I know just the way they break
