A long, long way into the distanceBut not so far from where you'd grownStood a mountain of complicationsThe likes of which I'd never knownSound familiar?You invited me indoorsFor coffee and a slice of lemonI rambled up the stairwellLike a lanky ArmageddonDoes this sound familiar?You threw yourself upon meSeemingly when I least expectedStill it's better to be startledThan stone-faced, sombre and dejectedDoes this sound familiar? Does this sound Familiar?I'm the messiah for the maudlinThe prince of the thieves And you could cut my legs from under meIf I'd just get off my kneesSongtexteThe valerian kicked inAnd my anatomy went limpAnd I wondered where along the timelineI became such a god awful wimpDoes this sound familiar?I tossed and I turned and I turned and I tossedAnd then I turned some moreMy sheets got caught amid the whirlwind And I forgot what I'd been lying there forDoes this sound familiar?I lit a lamp in light Of all that I had sought to ruminateBut in the depths of my mindA fear began to illuminateDoes this sound familiar? Does this sound familiar?I'm the messiah for the maudlinThe prince of the thieves And you could cut my legs from under meIf I'd just get off my kneesNow my body feels isolatedAnd my words are just a shieldAnd I'm judging every passer-byLike a contemporary Holden CaulfieldHow do you fight those inhibitions that keep you surly and aware?Just borrow some courage from the DutchAnd brother, you won't even careI'm the messiah for the maudlinThe prince of the thieves And you could cut my legs from under meIf I'd just get off my knees Aus Songtexte Mania
