Fell out of the Sky

words and music by Erik Brandon


You fell out of the sky
Like the moon on a string
Like a rollercoaster turning on its way to somewhere
I fell under your spell
Like the first day of Spring
Like an understudy stealing all the actors' thunder

Lady Luck and common sense
Are dancing on a mended fence
And I can't help but voice a small concern
And all the kids are screaming out that
We should take a bit more care
With every single double dare
We're closer to a situation
Subject to investigation

Cuz you fell out of the sky
Like a kite off a string
Like a piece of tinsel everyone forgot to mention
I fell head over heels
Like a left-handed swing
Like an elevator shaking with a nervous tension

Rusty nails and broken glass
Are scattered in the neighbor's grass
So don't go outside barefoot anymore
And if it makes a difference, well
The floors inside are cold cement
So practice to your heart's content
A cartwheel might just force a smile
I haven't seen in quite a while

Since you fell out of the sky
Like the moon on a string
Like a rollercoaster turning on its way to somewhere
I fell under your spell
Like the first day of Spring
Like an understudy stealing all the actors' thunder
You fell out of the sky
You fell out of the sky
