At 11:06, my watch stopped tickingMy telephone started to ringThe voice on the line said, "Have you got the twine?"Then I started to singI said, "What's so important 'bout peaches and cream?Wake up and start living, it's a beautiful dreamThe box spring's turning in the music machineAnd your grandmother's run from the roomIt's only a matter of twine before I have run for the exit, too"The meter's full, the moon needs a quarterMy name is caught in a treeThe one-armed bandit stole my armsNow they all think he's meBecause he said, "What's so important 'bout peaches and cream?Wake up and start living, it's a beautiful dreamThe box spring's turning in the music machineAnd your grandmother's run from the roomIt's only a matter of twine before I have run for the exit, too" Aus Songtexte Mania
