The song "Come Tumblin' Down" by Colin Hay tells the story of a small town that has fallen on hard times. The protagonist drops a coin in the wishing well, hoping for a change in luck, but finds that the town has been dry for a long time. As a greyhound bus passes by, the man realizes that there hasn't been a train through the town in a while. The man reflects on his past, admitting that he's not a drinking man anymore, but recalls a night when he got lost and became a dancer. He slept out in the cottonwoods, listening to the screams in his dreams as the town began to crumble. The song then shifts to a child sitting on the stairs, who has seen the town's demise and still cares. The man takes the child on a ride on a melting ferris wheel, noting that it's not worth much anymore. Ultimately, the song suggests that despite the town's struggles, it's important to keep dancing and to climb to higher ground. "Come Tumblin' Down" is a poignant reminder of the impact of economic hardship on small towns and the importance of staying hopeful despite adversity.
