    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    There is no truth - only interpretation
    so let's see what you make of this information
    I'll be brief in case you might start to plummet
    I can sum it up in one little phrase
    I'm afraid this ain't very soothing
    Because when your back's against the wall
    and the bricks are moving
    and you're heading for one hell of a fall.
    Now all your good luck was floating on a ship
    you took a hammer and a chisel
    and you made sure you sank it
    You're sawing through the branch
    that you're sitting on and the baliffs
    have impounded the safety blanket
    Start praying as soon as you can
    Because you've hit rock bottom and
    You-know-what's hit the fan
    and you're heading for one hell of a fall
    One hell of a fall, one hell of a fall
    It's too late for you to lay low
    You've been measured up for horns
    Instead of a halo and it's true
    they make you look tall
    But you're heading for one hell of a fall.
    There is no truth - only interpretation
    so let's see what you make of this information
    You think you'll be saved if you hide behind
    Your carpenters tool because it's a
    kind of reference to the Messiah's occupation
    I wouldn't count on it
    you've got a devil of a reputation
    And you're heading for one hell of a fall
    One hell of a fall, one hell of a fall
    if you're gonna repent you'd better go for it
    Because I can feel heat
    and the smell of sulphur
    it's proof that the place has not frozen over
    and you're heading for one hell of a fall
    one hell of a fall, one hell of a fall
    It's too late for you to lay low
    You've been measured up for horns
    instead of a halo and it's true
    they make you look tall
    But you're heading for one hell of a fall.
