lyrics

Here I fall again, I don't want to think. Don't want to think about where I'm going to

We're on the pier. It's late and I'm lost, and the boats are drifting on the shore so far away. You're telling me your problems and I listen, I listen too damn much. Watch the boats, they're leaving but I'm not.

Here I fall again, fall again. Out on the sand it's shifting, never staying where I want to be. Whatever, I always fall again. I always fall again.

Lines moving, shapes shifting, I can't find my map. A voice calls me, "come this way", just like that. A voice calls me and I obey. Even knowing the end of the story won't save me now.

Here I fall again. Taking my tiny steps in your footsteps, watching your every mood for a cue. In proper form as always, fall again. I always fall.

Speaking that other language, it's not so obscure. It's the one that I was taught so long ago. I try to explain, I try but it won't leave me alone. Leave me alone!

Here I fall again, fall again, here I fall again, over and over, down the stairs. It's dark down here but it's a place that I know well. I hope you're entertained watching me fall.

X-tal (1983-1996) were a San Francisco post-punk band fronted by J Neo Marvin. Greil Marcus of the Village Voice described them as a “small-time San Francisco combo that wears their defeated leftist politics on their sleeves and can open for the Mekons without letting you forget them when the headliners come on.” ... more
