From Chambers, Slow
There's a tree in my yard and it killed all the other plantsAnd showed no remorse but even nature's a bitchSo that bitch is gonna take her courseIt dominates the lawn and it doesn't seem rightIt played out like thatBut you won't hear me complain 'cause it don't look badWould you trust your lifeTo traffic lightsAnd strangers' handsNear every night?I'll sing in timeWith the crashing carsAnd all sounds that carryTo my front yardAnd I will be the one who knows what's coming to meI'm gonna know, I'll know, I'll know what's coming to meIf I were a ghost, I'd fuck with everybody I knowShake the walls on each houseAnd each attic above so keep your ear to the groundI'd carve "hello" into the rafter with a bent-up forkSo you can read it next timeYou go up there to push something out of sight and mindSongtexteWould you trust your lifeTo traffic lightsAnd strangers' handsNear every night?I'll sing in timeWith the crashing carsAnd all sounds that carryTo my front yardAnd I'll be the one who knows what's coming to meI'm gonna know, I'll know, I'll know what's coming to meBullets may flyFrom chambers, slowBut straight and steadySo still they goAnd weave aroundHouses and treesIn search of youIn search of meAnd I'll be the one who knows what's coming to meI'm gonna know, I'll know, I'll know what's coming to me Aus Songtexte Mania
