The Walls Of The World by Mental As Anything Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1989

[Verse 1]
I can't love you honey
When my world is coming to an end
It's hard to show affection
With a shotgun pointing at my head

[Chorus]
Your daddy's breaking things
He's spreading his wings
And the walls of the world, they're falling
Like a science fiction story, oh

[Verse 2]
He's making all that money
With his digging, damming and his dynamite
Now, I don't think it's funny
That he can take the party out of Saturday night

[Chorus]
Your daddy's breaking things
Spreading his wings
And the walls of the world, they're falling
Like a science fiction story, oh
[Bridge]
It's hard to show respect
For a man who doesn't care
Whose toes he's stepping on
There are some things you can never repair
When you break them, they are gone
Forever

[Refrain]
They're falling
Falling

[Chorus]
Your daddy's breaking things
Spreading his wings
And the walls of the world, they're falling
Like a science fiction story, oh

[Refrain]
They're falling
Falling

[Verse 3]
He's covering our tracks and breaking all the shells
Where we made those happy memories
Whenever I go back to where I used to dwell
I don't know the place, it used to be green
[Refrain]
They're falling
Falling
Falling
