I dug a hole and filled it up with compostRested on the cool grass for a minuteI saw the future in a dream last nightThere's nothing in itI set the sapling in the holeStarted gently tapping down the dirtI saw the future in a dream last nightSomebody's gonna get hurt, somebody's gonna get hurtI hope it's not meBut I suspect it's going to have to beI dug my heels in for the winterAnd I waited for the snowBut something was stuck up in the cloudsSomething was stuck up thereIt couldn't let goAnd when its time came I could see it happenBlossoms black and sweet as Texas crudeI saw the future flowering like a ruptured vesselSomebody's gonna get screwedIt won't be meSomeday I am going to walk out of here free Aus Songtexte Mania
