Scarlett Johansson "Falling Down" Lyrics, Video


Scarlett Johannson "Falling Down", lyrics below, video right up top. This is a tom waits cover, which a lot of people are hating on but I think this is pretty cool.

Scarlett Johansson "Falling Down" Lyrics

Falling Down
I have come 500 miles
Just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg
Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes
I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck
He must fall in the sea
And she wants you
To steal and get caught
For she loves you
For all that you are not
When you're
Falling down, falling down
When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses
Don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you
For standing so tall
Go on and take a swig
Of that poison and like it
And don't ask
For silverware
Don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear
To the ground
You know you will be
Hearing that sound
Falling down
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

Go on down and see
That wrecking ball
Come swinging on along
Everyone knew
That hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows
They took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away
In a couple of days
Now someone yell timber
And take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down
Here on the ground
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Someone's falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

I love it too. It makes me so sad for some reason, especially the ending.

mmm.... it's kind of weird, i'd have never thought scarlett sang like that, I personaly had a different idea of her voice. However, it's not that bad, I like it.

no.
just-no.
it's absolutely, completely AWFUL.
the lyrics are decent but what the heck?
why doesn't she sing normal then, if she doesn't usually sing like that?
it's getting her tons of bad reviews and bad press and just, ugh!
it's heinous.

It's not critics that need to change. Most of you posters just need to find an ounce of musical sense. What a pathetic excuse for a song.

problem is: for American audiences in particular -- there is no comprehension of IRONY. Far less than appreciation factor. Americans REALLY don't comprehend irony! so the song is very poignant..

I LOVE THE SONG!!! It's great and it's kinda a good thing to have an unusual voice its just annoying hearing the same voice over and over again i think her songs are great and she has a beautiful voice
