After years of waiting
Nothing came As your life flashed before your eyes You realize I'm a reasonable man Get off, get off, get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case After years of waiting After years of waiting nothing came And you realize you're looking Looking in the wrong place I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case Get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case Get off my case After years of waiting You're a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case Get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case Get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case Get off my case I'm a reasonable man Get off my case Get off my case Get off my case |
I jumped in the river, what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars And all the figures I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt. |
There are barn doors
And there are revolving doors Doors on the rudders of big ships And little revolving doors There are doors that open by themselves There are sliding doors And there are secret doors There are doors that lock And doors that don’t There are doors that let you in and out But never open And there are trapdoors That you can’t come back from |
Come on, come on
You think you’ll drive me crazy Well, come on, come on You and whose army? You and your cronies? Come on, come on Holy Roman Empire Come on if you think Come on if you think You can take us on You can take us on You and whose army? You and your cronies? You forget so easy We ride tonight Ghost horses |
I might be wrong
I might be wrong I could have sworn I saw a light coming home I used to think I used to think There is no future left at all I used to think Open up, begin again Let’s go down the waterfall Think about the good times and Never look back Never look back What would I do? What would I do? If I did not have you? Open up and let me in Let’s go down the waterfall Have ourselves a good time It’s nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all. |
I want you to know
He’s not coming back Look into my eyes I’m not coming back So knives out Catch the mouse Don’t look down Shove it in your mouth If you’d been a dog They would have drowned you at birth Look into my eyes It’s the only way you’ll know I’m telling the truth So knives out Cook him up Squash his head Put him in the pot I want you to know He’s not coming back He’s bloated and frozen Still there’s no point in letting it go to waste So knives out Catch the mouse Squash his head Put him in the pot. |

While you make pretty speeches
I’m being cut to shreds You feed me to the lions A delicate balance When this just feels like spinning plates I’m living in Cloud cuckoo land And this just feels like spinning plates Our bodies floating down the muddy river |
