According to Michael Stipe, “Fall on Me” “…is not about acid rain. It’s a general oppression song about the fact that there are a lot of causes out there that need a song that says, ‘Don’t smash us.’ And specifically, there are references to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the guy dropping weights and...
Fall on Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
There's the problem, feathers, iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground
Before the weight can leave the air
[Pre-Chorus 1: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And tell the sky, and tell the sky
[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Mike Mills]
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (If it's there for long)
Fall on me (It's over, it's over me)
[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
There’s the progress we have found (When the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (When the children reign)
Building towered foresight (Keep your conscience in the dark)
Isn’t anything at all (Damage the statues in the park)
[Pre-Chorus 2: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And bleed the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (If it's there for long)
Fall on me (It's over, it's over me)
Fall on me
[Bridge: Mike Mills]
Well, I would keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So, if I send it to you
You've got to promise to keep it home
[Pre-Chorus 3: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky
[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Mike Mills/Bill Berry]
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for?) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over, it's over me) (It’s gonna fall)
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for?) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over, it's over me) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for?) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over, it's over me) (It’s gonna fall)
