you are my sweetest downfall
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
your hair was long when we first met
not much hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
and history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
and the bible didn't mention us
you are my sweetest downfall
beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
but they're just old light
your hair was long when we first met
told me that my hair was red
told me i was beautiful and came into my bed
oh i cut his hair myself one night
a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
and he told me that i'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
not much hair left on his head
ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
we couldn't bring the columns down
yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
and history books forgot about us
and the bible didn't mention us
you are my sweetest downfall
