[Verse 1]
You have loved me with energy
Backed up with hard work and guts
We inhabit eternity
We fly forever in space
The way we run together
The way we breeze the miles
We put our heads together
And laughingly we smile

[Chorus]
It can't fall
It can't fall
Baby, it can't fall
Death means nothing at all

[Chorus]
It can't fall
It can't fall
Baby, it can't fall
Our love will outlive this earth

[Verse 2]
Words have so many meanings
Sometimes mean nothing at all
Sometimes I feel so simple
I don't know what's coming next
We have swum in the ocean
And that was really alright
I'm not a big man
It's hard to face the world

[Chorus]
It can't fall
It can't fall
Baby, it can't fall
That would nail me to the wall

[Chorus]
It can't fall
It can't fall
Baby it can't fall
Our love will outlive this earth

[Outro]
It can't fall

After his previous band, The Stooges collapsed, Iggy Pop (the stage name of James Newell Osterberg, Jr.) initially struggled to establish a solo career. Working with David Bowie in Berlin helped him produce The Idiot and Lust For Life, essential albums which made him a household name.
