Smoke Rings
CarolineBrings me coffee and cigarettesRemedies to help forget how theWords would riseTo the ceiling like smoke ringsNever meaning anythingWater riseBut nothing seems to make much senseJust when I feel I can't goShe's a friend of mineShe doesn't need a valentineOr pretty talk about the sunshine, orSilver liesShe penetrates the thin disguise, weListen to the night outside, sheMakes her plansWhy'd I try and understand?Just when I feelJust when I feel I can't goFrom her roomWe watch the violent colors die,Listen to the traffic outside, sheSongtexteTakes her timeWhile people rush off nowhere fast,Caroline can only laughCarolineCaroline can only laughJust when I feel I can't goWell, her shared beliefFalls in pieces on the groundDoesn't seem to make a sound, butIt scatters like our darkest ghostI try to sweep the fragments up, while sheHolds the cardsShe doesn't have to try so hard, butShe doesn't have to try so hardJust when I feelJust when I feel I can't goJust when I feelJust when I feel I can't goJust when I feel I can't go Aus Songtexte Mania
