My Papa told me to stay out of trouble
"When you′ve found your man, make sure he′s for real!".
I′ve learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that won′t heal
They won′t heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That′s the call, that′s the game
And the pain stays the same.

I′m walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I′m still breaking the rules.
I kick it up, I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That′s my real middle-name
It has always been the same
That′s the call, that′s the game
And the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat
Slowly fallin′ from the sky
And the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain
Comin′ tumblin′ from behind
And the wild holy war.

I kick it up, I kick it down

And every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That′s the call, that′s the game
And the pain stays the same.

That′s my real middle-name
It has always been the same.

Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh
Been the same, been the same
It has always been the same.
