The Bumpercar Blues
You sit there with your sad eyes and you ask me if there's something you can do Well I hate to burst your bubble but there's nothing and you know that it's true My mind is a desert and this conversations dry It's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie At the thought of my helplessness my stomach starts to churn If I caught on fire would you watch me burn Would you watch me burn I try to phase it out so I could extend my disbelief I never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief Well it's easier to understand when you don't know how I feel This whole damn situation just seems so unreal Time heals all wounds There's not much of a choice If I screamed till my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice You wouldn't hear my voice I feel like I'm in that bumpercar and I just got knocked off the track 'cause I just put on the straw that broke the camel's back Blinded by the light so I can't see three feet in front of me It's easy to make a mistake when you've lost all sense of direction I try to squirm away, but the grip just gets tighter I know you're going to stomp my head into the ground But could you be a little quieter Could you be a little quieter Oh SongtexteI'm trying to get some sleep here Oh I'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep Please, thanks, quiet, sleeps, please, thanks, quiet, sleep, thanks Please, thanks Aus Songtexte Mania
