lyrics

Just as he was stepping through the door
He felt a sort of shiver down his spine
Pearls of sweat were on his forehead were dripping of his forehead
He shirt was sticking to his back

It’s only a short walk to the car he thought
Only a short drive home
But the ship was being wrecked before it could reach the shore
He was swaying like a drunk his feet wouldn’t carry him no more

The earth is shaking
A man is going down
His heart couldn’t take it
A man is going down

His body’s laying right outside his office
The doorman called the doctor and his wife
There are noses that are pressed against the windows
His dark brown were staring at the sky

He can’t believe that it’s already over
He can’t believe he’s already gone
It seldom crossed his mind that he was mortal
He’d been working like a madman he’d been cheering himself on

The earth is shaking
A man is going down
His heart couldn’t take it
A man is going down

Goodbye to the roses
Goodbye to the dogs
Goodbye to everyone who’s still alive
Goodbye

The earth is shaking
A man is going down
His heart couldn’t take it
A man is going down
The clouds are breaking
A man is going down
His heart couldn’t take it
The earth is shaking
His heart couldn’t take it
A man is going down
