Once I saw your faceI knew my time had comeI knew we'd be togetherLike a soldier and a soldier's gunBut there is troubleAll aroundAnd vultures overheadAnd the sea don't look the same anymoreAnd the sky is the colour of leadLet it roll boysLet it roll boysThat golden handle will begin to turnAnd I know boysYes I know boysFrom where we end up We will never returnI packed my bags on the darkest of nightsAnd I left Eve asleep on the bedI made my way down to the cave by the shoreWhere I knew someone would be waiting for meA face in the shadows I recognized straight awayI said they told me you had diedSongtexteHe said why did you come hereWhen I warned you awayI said I come here for moneyWe made it through the hillsWhen dawn did arrive By noon we'd reached Redwood PointThe capital city was still far awayBut I could feel the change in the airLet it roll boysLet it roll boysThat golden handle will begin to turnAnd I know boysYes I know boysFrom where we end up We will never returnThe man had a place just north of the cityIt was good for somewhere to hideCome the fifth into townI would fly in the nightOh this is easy moneyThe sun went down and the stars came outI remember her face so clearI watch from the street as she strolled back in the houseAnd here I stayed 'til the lights went outthe whole way is warm with the breath of the damnedI crept in the room where she layThe stars like diamonds in the flash of the bladeBy the light of the moon she was slainLet it roll boysLet it roll boysThat golden handle will begin to turnAnd I know boysYes I know boysFrom where we end up We will never return Aus Songtexte Mania
