Story behind the song

The lyrics say it all...

Lyrics

There is no truth - only interpretation 
so let's see what you make of this information 
I'll be brief in case you might start to plummet 
I can sum it up in one little phrase 
I'm afraid this ain't very soothing 
Because when your back's against the wall 
and the bricks are moving 
and you're heading for one hell of a fall. 
Now all your good luck was floating on a ship 
you took a hammer and a chisel 
and you made sure you sank it 
You're sawing through the branch 
that you're sitting on and the baliffs 
have impounded the safety blanket 
Start praying as soon as you can 
Because you've hit rock bottom and 
You-know-what's hit the fan 
and you're heading for one hell of a fall 
One hell of a fall, one hell of a fall 
It's too late for you to lay low 
You've been measured up for horns 
Instead of a halo and it's true 
they make you look tall 
But you're heading for one hell of a fall. 
There is no truth - only interpretation 
so let's see what you make of this information 
You think you'll be saved if you hide behind 
Your carpenters tools because it's a 
kind of reference to the Messiah's occupation 
I wouldn't count on it 
you've got a devil of a reputation 
And you're heading for one hell of a fall 
One hell of a fall, one hell of a fall 
if you're gonna repent you'd better go for it 
Because I can feel heat 
and the smell of sulphur 
it's proof that the place has not frozen over 
and you're heading for one hell of a fall 
one hell of a fall, one hell of a fall 
It's too late for you to lay low 
You've been measured up for horns 
instead of a halo and it's true 
they make you look tall 
But you're heading for one hell of a fall.
