Paul Simon — Everything Put Together Falls Apart

[Verse 1] Paraphernalia never hides your broken bones And I don't know why You'd want to try It's plain to see you're on your own [Bridge 1] Ooh, I ain't blind, no Some folks are crazy Others walk that borderline [Verse 2] Watch what you're doing Taking downs to get off to sleep And ups to start you on your way After a while they'll change your style I see it happening every day [Bridge 2] Ooh, spare your heart Everything put together Sooner or later falls apart [Verse 3] There's nothing to it, nothing to it And you can cry and you can lie For all the good it'll do you, you can die But when it's done, the police come And they lay you down for dead Just remember what I said
