Falling down - Tom Waits Scarlett Johansson cover

I have come 5000 miles
Just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg
Scarlett and me
When I opened my eyes
I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck
He must fall in the sea
And she wants you
To steal and get caught
For she loves you
For all that you are not
When you're
Falling down, falling down
When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses
Don't come around on sunday
She's not gonna choose you
For standing so tall
Go on and take a swig
Of that poison and like it
And don't ask
For silverware
Don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear
To the ground
You know you will be
Hearing that sound
Falling down
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

Go on down and see
That wrecking ball
Come swing in on her now
Everyone knew
That hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows
They took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away
In a couple of days
Now someone yelled timber
Take off your hat
We all look smaller down
Here on the ground
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Someone's falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Er... you do know Tom Waits did this first didn't you. I certainly hope so.

[StJudeThaddaeus]

I feel that if Tom came 500 miles for this song, Scarlett managed to take tit so far straight backasswards that you had to go an extra 4500 miles just to take the song back from the land of suck. I think you made it.

Are you fucking retarded? Scarlett Johansson didn't write this! She didn't even ask Tom Wait's permission to cover his songs. Of course this sounds amazing. It's Tom - fucking - Waits.

I just discovered Tom Waits yesterday. He's good. 2:15 pm, west coast time, October 20th, 2010

@missxiola I don't see anyone saying otherwise.

TOM WAITS WROTE AND RELEASED THIS SONG YEARS AGO YOU IGNORANT MONKEYS!

[leirbag23]

Holy crap, what a fantastic cover. Great voice, and this song works surprisingly well with this stripped-down style.

[AZNsplatform]

awesome cover!

[letsgetthisstraight]

This is a Tom Waits song that Scarlett Johanson did a cover of.

[Rasulis]

This is such a fabulous cover. It rings true to the original, but has its own style to it. Great work. I love it.
