I'll Never Live Up to You
When they laid you out, on the metal tableThey got the suit right, but they weren't able to erase the glareYou've been dead for 16 years, a myth suspended in amberReputation burnished by fearIf they would believe me, I would tell them all the truth about youI'll never live up to youEven Mao, he looks all right, on a 40-foot billboardAll doe-eyed, but we remember the nightExpectations were all I heard, they took me at my wordBut I couldn't do what he wanted me to doIf they would believe me, I would tell them all the truth about youI'll never live up to you Aus Songtexte Mania
