Last to Fall Lyrics

Hold on to your wigs and keys
Gone already, cuffs and collars
Pulling only cups and swords
Throwing coins and burning dollars

I watch with envy
I never had it in me
No I never had it in me

You're the one that got away with everything, everything
Last to fall takes it all
You're the one who never pays for anything, anything

You go lightly as you please
Courting chaos, tempting trouble
All's forgiven, weightless ease
Heavy burdens handed over

You look so pretty doing what would kill me
Yeah you're doing what would kill me
You're the one that got away with everything, everything
Last to fall takes it all
You're the one who never pays for anything, for anything

Count on those whose vice is always playing it nice
A fearless high wire show as we hold nets below
The curves, the cracks, snakes in the grass
Nothing's gonna hold you back
You never fold, you never sold out

You're the one that got away with everything, with everything
Last to fall takes it all
You're the one who never pays for anything, for anything

I don't know how I feel
Should I cheer or just stand clear?

Fly From Heaven

Hold on to your wigs and keys
Gone already, cuffs and collars
Pulling only cups and swords
Throwing coins and burning dollars

I watch with envy
I never had it in me
No I never had it in me

You're the one that got away with everything, everything
Last to fall takes it all
You're the one who never pays for anything, anything

You go lightly as you please
Courting chaos, tempting trouble
All's forgiven, weightless ease
Heavy burdens handed over

You look so pretty doing what would kill me
Yeah you're doing what would kill me
You're the one that got away with everything, everything
Last to fall takes it all
You're the one who never pays for anything, for anything

Count on those whose vice is always playing it nice
A fearless high wire show as we hold nets below
The curves, the cracks, snakes in the grass
Nothing's gonna hold you back
You never fold, you never sold out

You're the one that got away with everything, with everything
Last to fall takes it all
You're the one who never pays for anything, for anything

I don't know how I feel
Should I cheer or just stand clear?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
