whoo! scarlett johansson did the cover of tom waits, produced by dave sitek. well i’m not a fan of tom waits, but i like the first single titled “falling down” featuring david bowie. this is definitely not mainstream song, like ordinary hollywood stars normally do. so if you expect poppy song, you can skip this album instantly.
i’ve come 500 miles just to see a halo
come from st. petersburg, scarlett and me
well i open my eyes i was blind as can be
when you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
and she wants you to steal and get caught
for she loves you for all that you are not
falling down, falling down
falling down, falling down
you forget all the roses just don’t come around on sunday
she’s not gonna choose you for standing so tall
go on and take a swig of that poison and like it
don’t ask for silverware, don’t ask for nothing
go on and put your ear to the ground
you’ll be hearing that sound…
falling down, falling down
falling down, falling down
go on down, see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
everyone knew that hotel was a goner
they broke all the windows, they took all the door knobs
and they hauled it away in a couple of days
now someone yell timber and take off your hat
it’s a lot smaller down here on the ground
falling down, falling down
falling down, falling down
