Sometimes I feel like the falling man Falling down through centuries With no name, no place to be
Just a runner in an endless chase Not winning but in the race
Trying not to fall out of history
Pictures moving at a million frames Can’t tell the story right
I lay awake and dream at night
About the times when we lived in caves With no gods, no souls to save
In the psychedelic waves of time
Falling man, falling man
Maybe one day you’ll understand
We had our own little paradise
Then we moved away from home
Started living in the great unknown
Knowing more and feeling less
New pain and modern stress
Moving through the crowd like we’re not alone
I’m out here where I don’t belong
I’m just a dollar in a paper town
I sit and watch the sun go down
Stuck in traffic like the old cave man
There’s no future for the falling man
When he falls out of frame, it makes no sound
Falling man, falling man
Maybe one day you’ll understand Maybe one day you’ll land
