When I fail, I want to fail completely   And when I fall, I want to do it neatly   Travelling side by side   All due haste to my demise   Flickering in firelight   I'm gonna burn like Joan tonight      Oh, this is the angel's sound   With wingtips singed   You're surely heaven bound      I'm only falling now just to entertain you   I'm only failing here, because there's little else to do   Underwater, coming up for air   Wallow in self-pity and despair   Well, I haven't got a care   I've gotta do my hair   I've gotta do my hair      Oh, this is the angel's sound   With wingtips singed   You're surely heaven bound   Oh, your fallen idol   Oh, you're my favorite fallen idol      I'm only falling to entertain you   I'm only falling just to entertain you   I'm only falling just to entertain you   Pretend   Pretence   Pretend   Pretend
