Smaller Lyrics

We fell to earth unopened, and in falling lost our way Now that I have your attention, there?s nothing to say From Stockholm to the border, there are sheets of driving rain I saw in your eyes the look of surprise as I walked away If I?m getting smaller, it?s cause I?m leaving you today If I?m getting stronger There?s the busthead and a shaker, it?s the king and he stands to my pawn The barroom light of a Tuesday night is blue as a tomb So when does your jester pull the king from off his throne I?ll cry for your death, it?s death I?ll accept, but I?ll wither and burn If I?m getting smaller, it?s 'cause I?m leaving you today If I?m getting stronger, I remembered what to say It might be that I?m stronger But not today
