All That Before
I don't know if I'm cracking up or just getting careless, is this room quite airless?Just a minute, listen, did you hear that knock on the door?I'm going to have to write things down before I forget themI can't find my glasses, I don't know where I left themSo I can't expect to get much on the visionary score, or did I say all that before?Oh, stop me if you've heard this one before I get startedI can't find my mobile and I didn't charge it, it's a phantom targetIf I call myself I'll only get my voicemail once moreI wish that I could pin things down before they escape meI can't find my car keys and it seems that latelyI have trouble even fitting them into the front door, or did I say all that before?Oh, stop me if I'm banging on, trying to grab your attentionI forget to mention I can't find my glassesBut I think I bent them when I dropped them as I scrabbled for my phone on the floorIt seems I can't, I can't remember, I can't remember what I'm doingAlthough I flash that foolish grin that seemed so winning when I came inI'm beginning to see everything we've been is going to be forgottenIt's not a joke, or did I say that all before I spoke?It's not a joke, or did I say all that before I spoke?I can't find myself, what I'm looking for, and I've lost the thread of what I said before Aus Songtexte Mania
