Paul Simon - Everything Put Together Falls Apart Lyrics

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
I ain't blind, no some folks are crazy

Others walk that borderline
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
Spare your heart everything put together
Sooner or later falls apart

There's nothing to it, nothing to it
You can cry, you can lie
For all the good it'll do you you can die
But when it's done and the police come
And they lay you down for dead
Just remember what I said
