"It's not a graceful fall from dreams to the truth."
Those words are painful; they are true.
John Mellencamp - "A Graceful Fall" - from "No Better Than This".
The lyrics to this song are stark. Enjoy them:
"It's not a graceful fall from dreams to the truth, there's not a lotta hope here if you got nothin' to lose, when your vision's no good, when you're flat on the ground, yeah the future's not bright, when you're falling down.
"Cause I'm sick of life, yeah it's easy to do, when everything so hard, has been handed to you, yeah I'm sick of life, 'cause its lost it's fun, I'll see you in the next world, if there is really one.
Well I'm not falling up the ladder, I'm just putting in my days, my pockets are empty and my aces won't play, yeah I'm movin' down the street, and I'm going nowhere, it's not a graceful fall, when you don't care.
"Cause I'm sick of life and it's easy to do, when everything so hard has been handed to you, 'cause I'm sick of life, and it's lost its fun, I'll see you in the next world, if there really is one, yeah I'm sick of life, 'cause I'm falling down, I'll see you in the next world, if you're still around."
