Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight Lyrics - Artist : Chrissie Hynde
Just a minute before you leave
Just a minute before you touch the door What is it that you're trying to achieve? Do you think we can just talk about it some more? The streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope It ain't even safe no more In the palace of the Pope Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, oh yeah Come over here from over there Sit down here, you can have my chair I can't see us goin' anywhere The only place open is a thousand miles away And I can't take you there I wished I'd been a doctor Maybe I'd saved some life that've been lost Maybe I'd done some good in the world Instead of burning every bridge I crossed Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be And I need you, oh yeah I ain't too good at conversation So you might not know exactly how I feel But if I could I'd bring you to the mountain top And build you a house of stainless steel It's like I'm stuck inside a painting That's hanging in the Louvre My throat starts to tickle and my nose itches But I know that I can't move Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I can handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's gone but the past lives on Tomorrow's just one step beyond And I need you, oh yeah Who are these people walking towards you? Do you know them or will there be a fight? With their humorless smiles so easy to see through Can they tell you what's wrong from right? Do you remember Napoleon Street Where you blew Jackie P's mind? You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet And laid his life on the line Let's try to get beneath this surface waste No more booby traps and bombs No more decadence and charm No more affection that's misplaced No more mud cake creatures lying in your arms What about that billionaire With the drumsticks in his pants? He looked so baffled, so bewildered When he played and we didn't dance Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday is just a memory Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be And I need you, oh yeah Don't fall apart on me tonight Don't fall apart on me tonight Don't fall apart on me tonight Don't fall apart on me tonight Don't fall apart on me tonight |
