Never once an oceancould hold me on its shorestanding calm with all its motionwith all the movement of its flowcause I know way back in the distanceall the safer sorrows burnedthe ones with no intent to drown youthe ones where nothin's to be learnedso now i'm headin' down a back roadthe one that no one really takes'cept for me now to be nowherewhen that early morning breaksNow I'm dancin' with the mad girlsthe ones who sin out by the townwho were brought up by bell towersand always nurtured by its soundI heard them sing out in their languagealready when I was still freeoh God I thought I heard the angelswhat kind of fool'd you put in me?'Cause now I'm tied by up by a back road, y'knowthe one that no one really takes'cept for me now to be nowhereSongtextewhen that early morning breaksThey sure won't let me leave this summerno no noand they won't let me go this falland with the likelihood of winterthey'll take the heat out of us alljust to deliver all their daughtersto track down sons of serpent roadsand let me look out over slaughterto have a night out with the boysAnd now i'm takin' off the back road, y'knowthe one that no one really takes'cept for me now to be nowherewhen that early morning breaks Aus Songtexte Mania
