The Fall

EINSTEIN IN THE PATENT OFFICE

There are some flowers in this crown of thorn

Some beauty woven through the pain

There is excitement in a dangerous place

We weigh the loss against the gain

We weigh the loss against the gain

Both owls and flowers have taken flight in me

Beating their petal-driven wings

Revolving endlessly inside my skul

The circle ends where it begin

The circle ends where it begins

And Einstein is in the patent office

Unsynchronising time (unsynchronising time)

And Mr Jones is getting hyper in the wings and

Debbie is still hanging on the telephone line

Timing is everything but time's a bitch

Sneaking up to pass you by

Fast or slow it runs but which is which?

While minutes crawl the years fly

While minutes crawl the years are flying by

And Einstein is in the patent office

Unsynchronising time, unsynchronising time

And Mr Jones is sniffing cocaine in the wings

Debbie's going mental on the telephone line

Both owls and flowers in this crown of thorns

Some beauty woven through the pain
