i dropped a coin in the wishing well it s been a long time dry i watched that ol greyhound bus kick up dust as it rolls on by i asked the man in the station he said man just take a look around we haven t had a train through here since it all came tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down come tumblin down i m not a drinkin man no more but this one night i got lost i ve never been much of a dancer but this i surely was i made it out to the cottonwoods slept with my ear down to the ground and in my dreams i could hear the screams as it all came tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin come tumblin come tumblin down the corridors are all empty and there s a child sitting on the stairs she s seen everything there is to see and somehow she still cares we took a ride on the ferris wheel built from glass and steel and such now it s melting in the sun and it s not worth all that much tumblin down i raise my hands up to the sky tumblin down as we climb to higher ground tumblin down let s just keep on dancing tumblin down until it all comes tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin down tumblin down come tumblin come tumblin come tublin down
