[00:10.79]1986
[00:15.20]I never wanted to be
[00:17.91]A man of mystery
[00:22.42]My life's an open book
[00:25.22]By James Joyce and Agatha Christie
[00:28.80]Sometimes I get confused
[00:32.49]Somewhere around page two
[00:36.06]I live the perfect crime
[00:39.66]And crime pays more than it used to
[00:43.34]They're checkin' the evidence
[00:46.91]May be some charges pressed
[00:50.57]The only one they got me on
[00:53.21]Is some misdemeanor craziness
[00:56.82]Chorus:
[00:58.64]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[01:02.34]If they solve my life they find me out
[01:05.91]Never thought to keep all I have found
[01:09.55]I have had my fun if it all falls down
[01:13.18]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[01:16.73]I have had my fun I have bought a few rounds
[01:20.36]And been out on the town way out on the town
[01:24.05]Way way way out if it all falls down
[01:30.39]Never wanted to be
[01:33.92]A part of history
[01:37.56]I have my days in the sun
[01:40.27]A beach bum a man for all seasides
[01:44.85]Guidance counselor said
[01:47.56]Your scores are anti-heroic
[01:51.10]Computer recommends
[01:54.77]Hard-drinking calypso poet
[01:59.23]Studied life at sea
[02:02.80]Studied life in bars
[02:06.57]Never passed my S.A.T.'s
[02:09.25]So I thought I'd study extra hard
[02:12.82]Chorus:
[02:14.60]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[02:18.25]I have learned my trade from the inside out
[02:21.81]I can strum real hard I can play real loud
[02:25.48]I can charm a crowd if it all falls down
[02:29.11]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[02:32.76]I can warm a crowd I can make them shout
[02:36.38]I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns
[02:39.99]I can make them dance 'til they all fall down
[02:46.27]We had plenty of doctors
[02:49.90]We had plenty of lawyers
[02:53.53]We had people to make us things
[02:57.11]We had people to sell us those things
[03:00.71]Didn't have enough room for those things
[03:04.38]We build lots of self storage
[03:07.90]Calypso poet shortage
[03:11.65]Calypso poet shortage
[03:14.35]Chorus:
[03:16.15]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[03:18.85]I'll have filled that void from city to town
[03:23.48]I'll have spent my money and taken my bows
[03:26.12]I'll have had my fun if it all falls down
[03:29.72]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[03:33.33]If they solve my life if they find me out
[03:37.08]Never thought to keep all I have found
[03:40.63]I have had my fun if it all falls down
[03:44.20]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[03:47.82]I can charm a crowd 'til they snake dance 'round
[03:51.43]With calypso beat down island sound
[03:55.18]I can make them dance 'til they all fall down
[03:57.87]Chorus:
[03:58.75]If it all falls down falls down falls down
[04:02.39]I can warm a crowd I can make them shout
[04:05.93]I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns
[04:09.57]I can make them dance 'til they all fall down
