lyrics

FALLIN' THROUGH THE FLOOR
(words and music by Abel Ashes)

I'm 92, I'm drunk and bored and dancing like an idiot.
My wife, she died, so no more church.
I'm dancing like an idiot, for sure!
Like an idiot, 'cause sometimes I am bored.
Like an idiot, I know that life is short.
Like an idiot, don't like it? There's the door!
I'll be dancing like an idiot 'til I fall right through this floor!

I love my wife, but now she's gone and I'm dancing like an idiot.
My wife, she danced for 80 years and I'm dancing like an idiot, for her!
Like an idiot, I loved that little girl.
Like an idiot, my best friend in the world.
Like an idiot, don't like it? There's the door!
I'll be dancing like an idiot 'til I fall right through this floor!

I made my wage in pubs and clubs, but now I've reached the end of it.
These streaming sites don't pay me shit and I do not consent to this at all!
I don't consent to this! Pay the artist first!
Don't consent to this! Not content to be content!
Don't consent to this! Pay the cover at the door!
Spotify can suck it! Where's the godamn record store?
Spotify can suck it! Where's the godamn record store?
Spotify can suck it! Where's the godamn record store?
Spotify can suck it! Where's the godamn record store?
