Someone said don't tumble in
so I went and tumbled in
And way deep in that hole I've been
with mud up to my chin
Cursed with all the little people
getting love and lost in sound
Well you could say that on that day
the big bad world was found
letting everybody use it

Now it'll never be the same again
because you wanted to be special
Someone said don't tumble in
but I went and tumbled in
Yeah I went and tumbled in

Pretty soon I was out making friends
with the killers and the priest
I could feel their bodies creeping
Looking beautiful and mean
I think that's when it happened
They all gathered around me
they tipped me over
tied me up
and made a brand new thing of me

And now it's been so long
I can't even gather why I came
and I barely know my name

And I've never been the same again
because I wanted to be special
Someone said don't tumble in
but I went and tumbled in
Yeah I went and tumbled in

But there is a silver lining
around every bag of hope
For those of us
who stay inside
it's the only way to go
