From the recording The Heavenly Zoo
Before you criticize anybody for singing falsetto with a british accent take a look at yourself. That said, this feels like a soft, slow, solitary descent. Like a stone.
Lyrics
there's a sign in a window
saying my redemption's near
but in fact, from what I've seen
it couldn't be further from here
cause I'm out here all alone
and I'm sinking like a stone
there's a guy on the corner
making a mess of american pie
by his face you'd think he means it
singing this'll be the day I die
cause he's out there all alone
and he's sinking like a stone
oh sinking like a stone
sinking down like a stone
if you like, I can tell you
how the world will probably end
the little stone will sink
into the dark, I think
but I think too much my friend
and though I'm sinking like a stone
I can see I'm not alone
oh sinking like a stone
sinking down like a stone
