After The Fall Lyrics - Singles - Terry Allen

Hey, remember all those psychedelic nights 

When your head come loose and floated into the lights 

And all them girls without any tops at all 

Down in the dirt after the fall 

And remember how all the fantasies worked 

Little flags in front of the tract homes by the church 

It's a wonder any thing's left to hurt at all 

Down in the dirt after the fall 

And remember the flower children and their shit-eating grins 

Wearing buckskin building tepees trying to be Indians 

An remember the reservation with the drunks against the wall 

Peddling turquoise to the tourists 

Down in the dirt, after the fall 

Hey, remember the Holy Road running red 

With blood from the mouths of mystics when they said 

"Let's eat flesh from the knees of Jesus while He crawls" 

Down in the dirt, after the fall 

Yeah, remember the Christian soldiers armed to the teeth beneath the stars 

Watching the jungle burn from beside their armored cars 

We saw it all on TV while we ate just what we saw 

So we two could partake in history without our names on the wall 

Or down in the dirt, after the fall 

Hey, remember all those psychedelic nights 

When your head come loose and floated into the lights 

And all them girls without any tops at all 

Down in the dirt, after the fall, after the fall
