"Dominoes"



It always comes falling down like dominoes.
Things are getting out of hand.
How things became this way, nobody knows.
It always comes falling down like dominoes.
We can only wish to bring this chapter to a close.
None of this was planned beforehand.
It always comes falling down like dominoes.
Things are getting out of hand.
