Fall in love lyrics

Artist  : Steve kilbey 
Song : Fall in love
 
I knew this man, he had some kind of fatal
affliction.
Each day, a tiny particle, a small drop of his
soul, leaked or
Escaped into the air, out beyond the insipid the
gray sky and
Into dead space.
The paranormal specialist could find no way to
plug the tiny perforations
Which dripped his spirit behind him as he went on
down the highway.

Fall in love with me, fall in love with me
It’s not impossible
Fall in love with me, fall in love with me
It’s not impossible

It was attributed to hashish and opium addiction,
excessive womanizing,
Lashings of money and flattery, and a charmed,
but not charming life.
Who can describe the agony of this gradual soul
depletion? 
Too cowardly to take his own life, he roamed the
cafes and cabarets
Searching out other wretches who shared his most
hideous malady,
And they spent their days in sophistry and idle
banter, as their
Essence oozed, and the void moved ever closer.

Fred, the man, charlatan bastard, poor piteous
doomed puppet,
Immersed himself in these vices, but this only
exacerbated his
Demise more rapidly.
Eventually he could derive pleasure from nothing,
the most lurid
Pornography or the most holy scriptures failed to
arouse him from his
Stupor, his boredom.
Great cities, or the endless beautiful plains
stretched out before
His jaded gaze and disappeared into the
nothingness of his feeling.
