Past Lives

Falling Spikes
Falling spikes follow me home.Falling spikes pierce my shadow.Shatter the sidewalk at my feet.Through the ceiling while I sleep.Everyone I knew split in two.Falling spikes got me in distress.Falling spikes make me so nervous.I couldn't get a date last night because I couldn't take a step outside.Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police.When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes.All the people that I meet they want to run away.Plaster my face on every street.Violation! Violation!Threw me in a quarantine, tossed in a magazine subscription.The spikes keep falling in sheets--run for shelter, run for refuge.Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police.When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes.All the people that I meet they want to run away.When the metal waves collide I want to turn off the tide,My, oh, my! They put me away.Why, oh, why? They put me away. Aus Songtexte Mania
