Phil Ochs - Fallen Star Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was taking my pleasure in a bar I called home
  • When an old friend appeared at the door
  • He was filled with bad whiskey, so he didnt see me
  • As he stumbled the sawdust filled floor
  • He was famous for filling our halls with his songs
  • Till the words and the music ran dry
  • Soon the backstage buffoons and their parasite friends
  • Chased a new shooting star through the sky
  • (chorus) falling star you know who you are
  • You toyed with the notion of failure
  • Like kids play with bugs in a jar
  • You wouldnt believe it could happen to you
  • But this time youve fallen to far.
  • Once the news of his comeback was filling the trades
  • So the critics came loading their guns
  • Oh I watched how they cursed him, nuzzling their drinks
  • He was finished before hed begun
  • (chorus) falling star you know who you are
  • You were buying a round for our table
  • When they brought out the feathers and tar
  • You laughed when I said it could happen to you
  • Youve already fallen too far.
  • Falling asleep at the table
  • Mumbling your prayers to the floor
  • Paying the bill, we bid you farewell
  • And quietly slipped out the door
  • Oh the night quickly passed in an alchohol haze
  • That fire dont ever burn long
  • But the lesson I learned in the bar room that night
  • Still burns in the words of this song
  • (chorus) falling star you know who you are
  • You toyed with the notion of failure
  • Like kids play with bugs in a jar
  • You wouldnt believe it could happen to you
  • But this time youve fallen too far
  • This time youve fallen too far
