Lyrics to Fall Off the Earth

I believe I am going to start publishing the lyrics to Boduvt here, mostly cause I would like them easily available to anyone who might be enjoying the album.  Please stop back from time to time and eventually I'll have the whole album's lyrics on this here blog, for the record, so to speak.

Let's start at the start:

 FALL OFF THE EARTH
paralyzed as you walked by
we'd been talking about you that day
careless coincidence left me behind
while your next victim led you away

can you understand what you have done?
all said and gone I am the stupid one
I lit my last broken cigarette upon the setting sun
 and burned the dawn

now everybody sings the songs they wrote for you to me
since you threw away the comfort of my company
serenaded by a dead end symphony
and searching for a guarantee
guarantee
guarantee
to the mystery

I sat alone on 2nd ave
collecting my debts in a garbage bag
my broken heart safe for a while
from the synchronicities in a circular file

"goin' to the chapel" played in the air
like a dead end symphony when you appeared
for better or for worse I realized you’d left me forever
and ever

now everybody sings the songs they wrote for you to me
since you threw away the comfort of my company
serenaded by a dead end symphony
and searching for a guarantee
guarantee
guarantee
to the mystery

don’t fall apart for her you're one of the many
she’ll never understand what your love is worth
just play your part in her dead end symphony
she’ll lead you on until you fall off of the earth
