A mother has her baby boys and a father

Doesn't call

And from this saddening parody

Someone will have to crawl

Yes crawl through all the dark memories

Everyone and all

'Cause there's just one way

That you can stand



Too many ways to fall



All we have is here and now

Tomorrow may not come true

There's a million people who walk this ground

Who might steal your wish from you

A million people maybe not

A human one at all



There's just one way that we can stand

Too many ways to fall



Well they might be on the fire escape

They might be down the hall

They might be watching every

Move you make

Through the pinhole in the wall

They're sworn to their duty

And they stand so proud and tall

They say it's nothing personal

It's just a job that's all



The mother says now baby boy

You're gonna have to choose

There's good and evil, love and greed

And they're all inside of you

And just as sure as gravity

No one escapes the law

'Cause there's just one way

That we can stand



Too many ways to fall



So when you wake up in the bushes

Passed out on the lawn

And suddenly it dawns on you

That mother wasn't wrong

It all comes back like déjà vu

You just can't help but recall

'Cause there's just one way

that we can stand



Too many ways to fall
