Lyrics:
A little girl trapped in her knowledge and craftCame tripping to my room last nightI cooked her a steak and I tried not to fakeAnd still make everything alrightShe had dreads in her hair and problems and caresShe tried hard not to let em showShe was decent and sweet and I was sizin' up the meatBut doubts fell in my mind like snowAnd when the shove comes down to loveThe facade falls downAnd when the bricks fall from the tricksThe facade falls downIt's a sunny afternoon and I'm sitting in my robeI'm dirty and I'm here aloneThere's a story on my table that talks about meAnd I want to stuff it down the author's throatAnd I'm sleeping with someone new every nightAnd in the morning politely saying 'bye'And I'm nowhere and no oneAnd I only wanna runAnd I feel like a hamburger bunAnd when you mustBelieve or bustThe facade falls downWhen you're scared of a brand new careThe facade falls downI got no reason to believeI got no reason but I'm new york scumbag toughAnd I'll keep on truckin'So night is fallingAnd I'm getting' tiredAnd it's time to get my slippers and booksGot a sweater and glassesAnd something that passesFor a way to get by in this worldAnd I'm getting' tiredOf so many different thingsI guess I'm just plain tiredOr maybe too intelligent to believeIn the obvious side of thingsAnd when voice says make a choiceThe facade falls downWhen your knees start to concedeThe facade falls downWhen the shove comes down to loveThe facade falls downAnd when the bricks fall from the tricksThe facade falls downThe facade falls downThe facade falls downThe facade falls downThe facade falls downThe facade falls down
