The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm falling faster and faster and faster in no time to stall,
The closer you get, the further I fall.
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm falling faster and faster and faster in no time to stall,
The closer you get, the further I fall.

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Mountain Music"
The Lyrics: Playing baseball with chert rocks,
Using sawmill slabs for bats Why: Chert, a rock made of microcrystalline silica (tiny quartz crystals), is quite hard, because quartz is about the hardest of really common minerals. So such a baseball game would be scary. Think about the catcher and fielders who would have to try to catch those chert rocks, pitched hard or hit hard (and sometimes high) by those sawmill slabs! And any batter hit by a chert rock might be hard put to walk to first base.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"The Closer You Get"
The Lyrics: The closer you get, the further I fall
Why: It should be "The FARTHER I fall." "Farther" implies increase in actual distance. "Further" implies increase in degree. "I can run farther than Michael" but "He explained further."
