Bouncin' across the lake of ten yearsLike a stone tossed from the burglar's handHoldin' my breath, then I'm sinkin'Waves in circle like a memory slowly fade away, slowly fadeRemember me, when you look across the lakeWhen a fish caught hard on the lineFights for his own lifeWhen a boat breaks free of the tether and floats away in the windThe throw was aimed at a distant pineWinnin' the war by landin' down on the other sideSo, another playin' boy might find it thereSkip it back not knowin' his partIn this messed up game, in this messed up gameJuggled in the hands of ten long yearsLike colorful wands of fire in the arms of a red-eyed winoLife held tight in purple lips and tongueThat mumble and spit out cursesAnd the young boy's line was 'I'll show you'And the twenties was 'Watch me burn this fire'And the thirties was 'Jesus, God, where did I go wrong?'The forties was 'Good Lord, how much more?'SongtexteI'm halfway into the end of the chapterAnd no ink left in the wellAnd no happy ending to tell, thoughBandages cover my bodyHave no desire to swing the bellNo, I got no desire now to swing the bellNo, I got no desire now to swing the bellNo, I got no, no, no desire to swing the bellTo swing the bellTo swing the bellTo swing the bell, bell, bellDesire, no desireNo desire to swing Aus Songtexte Mania
