There is no truth - only interpretation
so let's see what you make of this information
I'll be brief in case you might start to plummet
I can sum it up in one little phrase
I'm afraid this ain't very soothing
Because when your back's against the wall
and the bricks are moving
and you're heading for one hell of a fall.
Now all your good luck was floating on a ship
you took a hammer and a chisel
and you made sure you sank it
You're sawing through the branch
that you're sitting on and the baliffs
have impounded the safety blanket
Start praying as soon as you can
Because you've hit rock bottom and
You-know-what's hit the fan
and you're heading for one hell of a fall
One hell of a fall, one hell of a fall
It's too late for you to lay low
You've been measured up for horns
Instead of a halo and it's true
they make you look tall
But you're heading for one hell of a fall.
There is no truth - only interpretation
so let's see what you make of this information
You think you'll be saved if you hide behind
Your carpenters tool because it's a
kind of reference to the Messiah's occupation
I wouldn't count on it
you've got a devil of a reputation
And you're heading for one hell of a fall
One hell of a fall, one hell of a fall
if you're gonna repent you'd better go for it
Because I can feel heat
and the smell of sulphur
it's proof that the place has not frozen over
and you're heading for one hell of a fall
one hell of a fall, one hell of a fall
It's too late for you to lay low
You've been measured up for horns
instead of a halo and it's true
they make you look tall
But you're heading for one hell of a fall.
