Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight - UB40 & Chrissie Hynde

Just a minute 'fore you leave, girl Just a minute 'fore you touch the door What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl? Do you think we can talk about it some more? You know, the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know, it's not even safe no more In the palace of the Pope Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, yeah Come over here from over there, girl Sit down here, you can have my chair I can't see us goin' anywhere, girl The only place open is a thousand miles away, and I can't take you there I wish that I'd been a doctor Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost Maybe I'd have done some good in the world 'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, oh, yeah I ain't too good at conversation, girl So you might not know exactly how I feel But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountaintop, girl And build you a house made out of stainless steel But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting That's hanging in the Louvre My throat start to tickle and my nose itches But I know that I can't move Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's gone but the past lives on Tomorrow's just one step beyond And I need you, oh Who are these people who are walking towards you? Do you know them or will there be a fight? With their humorless smiles so easy to see through Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right? Oh, do you remember St. James Street Where you blew Jackie P's mind? You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet And laid his life on the line Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl No more booby traps and bombs No more decadence and charm No more affection that's misplaced, girl No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants? He looked so baffled and so bewildered When he played and we didn't dance Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, yeah, you Ah, I need you

You found me boxing in a dream Woke up falling through the cracks Oh oh Above it all on the edge A dangerous place with deaths Oh oh You gotta lose everything To know what you had To know what we had I had to push and bleed Or hit it back But no one wonders of the aftermath If you knew Would you run till the stop Keep chasing those stars Or could you stay Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh If you knew Would you run till the stop Keep chasing those stars Or could you stay Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh Watch me fall apart Oh oh If you knew Would you run till the stop Keep chasing those stars Or could you stay Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh If you knew Would you run till the stop Keep chasing those stars Or could you stay Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh Watch me fall apart Oh Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh Watch me fall apart Watch me fall apart Oh oh

Stationed at the new site We got countless jobs to do We'll put on our suits and try To ignore the feeling Something's creeping Not long into the night I can't seem to find the crew 'Round the corner is a bloody sight I check if he's breathing He's not breathing Report the body found Call everybody 'round Now let your feelings out, no need to mask it The killer's one of us Be careful who you trust Or else your funeral might be closed casket We need to work this out We must all do our part 'Cause if we don't we're gonna Slowly fall apart We need to work this out Make sure you stay on guard 'Cause if you don't we're gonna Slowly fall apart Too soon to clear the doubt So we go back to the grind Just then the lights go out And the vents are creaking Someone's sneaking I run blindly through the place In a panicked state of mind I never got to see their face And now a body's bleeding Call a meeting Found in electrical Left quite the spectacle Just what exactly happened to their torso? So now we must decide On who to throw outside Debate your alibis to tell friend from foe We need to work this out We must all do our part 'Cause if we don't we're gonna Slowly fall apart We need to work this out Make sure you stay on guard 'Cause if you don't we're gonna Slowly fall apart Can't come to a decision Their lies have sown division The clock strikes on the deadline Whose death did we just assign? Now there are only three The other two plus me Too bad for them they've only made me stronger How should I start the end? Let's sabotage again They won't need oxygen for too much longer They'll never work this out My mind is super sharp It's up to me to make them Slowly fall apart They'll never work this out They just don't have the heart And now it's time for them to Slowly fall apart They're gonna slowly fall apart They're gonna slowly fall apart
