Building Steam
I, I've suffered long enough in this ghost townI saw the walls, called their bluff and tore them downWhen I think of all the time I've wastedAll the bitter pills I've tastedI have to hang my head and frownI, I've suffered long enough in this ghost townSoon came a day under skies that were grayWhen I knew I couldn't stay in this ghost town full ofClones and clowns and carbon copy towns, withKine and swine and nothing that was mine,And this town's decline with my hatred intertwined,So I gather all I find and I bolted it to me,Fueled my fires and I grabbed my pliers, and I'm lit!I made my own machineYes, we're building steamI hate the same routine.I made my own machineYes, we're building steamI hate the same routine.I, I never looked back--I want to never returnIf I could find a fuse, those bridges would burnSongtexteBut I keep this horse at a runKeep my hand to my gunMy path the vampires have learned.So I, I can never look back; I can never return.Soon came a day under skies that were grayWhen I knew I couldn't stay in this ghost town full ofClones and clowns and carbon copy towns, withKine and swine and nothing that was mine,And this town's decline with my hatred intertwined,So I gather all I find and I bolted it to me,Fueled my fires and I grabbed my pliers, and I'm lit!I made my own machineYes, we're building steamI hate the same routine Aus Songtexte Mania
