Lyrics for Fallen Star by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Fallen Star | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 61 | | | | Lyrics: | I was taking my pleasure in a bar i called home
When an old friend appeared at the door
He
was filled with bad whiskey, so he didn't see me
As he stumbled the sawdust filled
floor
He was famous for filling our halls with his songs
Till the words and the music
ran dry
Soon the backstage buffoons and their parasite friends
Chased a new shooting star
through the sky
(chorus) falling star you know who you are
You toyed with the notion of
failure
Like kids play with bugs in a jar
You wouldn't believe it could happen to
you
But this time you've fallen to far.
Once the news of his comeback was filling the
trades
So the critics came loading their guns
Oh i watched how they cursed him, nuzzling
their drinks
He was finished before he'd begun
(chorus) falling star you know who you
are
You were buying a round for our table
When they brought out the feathers and tar
You
laughed when i said it could happen to you
You've already fallen too far.
Falling
asleep at the table
Mumbling your prayers to the floor
Paying the bill, we bid you
farewell
And quietly slipped out the door
Oh the night quickly passed in an alchohol
haze
That fire don't ever burn long
But the lesson i learned in the bar room that
night
Still burns in the words of this song
(chorus) falling star you know who you
are
You toyed with the notion of failure
Like kids play with bugs in a jar
You wouldn't
believe it could happen to you
But this time you've fallen too far
This time you've fallen
too far | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
