Happy Slapping
When you're alone do you worry about meWhen I'm alone all I do is worry, worry worry worryWorry 'bout a heart attack, wonderin' who's got your backIf you had a healthy lunch, if somebody spiked your punchDo the boys take care of you, or do they leave you home to brewYeahDoin' fine without youWhen you're alone do you sit and weepOr do you keep the fire lit with photographs of you and meIs the heaviness letting up, or do you feel like giving upAnd if you gave up what exactly, what exactly would it meanOverflowing septic tanks and avoiding all the bins'Till somebody says "I knew the girl, she kept a tidy flatBut now the garden's full of rats, I know she used to singBut now she talks to buildingsShe's doin' swell without you"When you go out, do you dread coming homeTo an empty house and stale bread and nobody to warm your bedDoes it make you scared to die, 'cause that's what keeps me up at nightLying stiff for several days with nobody there to say "wake up honey or are you dead"And that keeps running through my headDoin' sweet without youWhen you wake up do you get a fright,SongtexteWhen suddenly you remember you no longer have a life'Cause it scares the shit right out of meAn avalanche of memories come raging like a bitch on heatSo I don't stay in bed soon as I wake I flee the room say "life is great"Stick on the radio and laugh and when the prime time jokes pretend that they relate to meAs if I'm not detached or lonely or is that how we all feel and eating crap is how we deal with life and all it's splendid trappingsRobbery and happy slappingYeahDoin' sweet without youDoin' swell without you Aus Songtexte Mania
