Tumble Down

If I run out in the rain, close my eyes to everything
Open my mouth to catch the drops, to sear my throat with fire
Will you think it's strange?

It's salt upon my tongue, a racing flame within my veins
I tumble down to the earth, I tumble down in the mud
Do you think it's strange?

I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
Do you blame me? I am the one to blame?

I live on insubstantial dreams, a feast of sugar-plum schemes
Santa stuffed my stocking full of poetry and stars and coal
Do you think it's strange

I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
Do you blame me? I am the one to blame?

I tumble down to the earth, I tumble down in the mud
Do you think it's strange?
Spin in circles till we fall, till it all comes crashing down
Do you think it's strange?

I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
Do you blame me? I am the one to blame?
