Lonely At The Top
It's lonely at the top of that upside down mountain Watched the sunrise from a windowless room If the paramedics stop, the soul goes on without them In a whicker basket tied to a balloon There are no boundaries to love The heart can comprehend the panorama I took it on the chin from some second hand feeling sorrow Handed down to me it felt brand new Tiny violins or some summer insects listening Another season leavin' us too soon Freedom's the opposite of love You'll never keep it through the paranoia Standing on the edge of a million landscapes emptying The water from the glacier fills my shoes Lying in your bed, my dreams are sex and violence I chased the rapist chasing after you There is no dignity in love Trade every scrap to get some absolution Till then I'm walking out the door Till then I'm runnin' through the airport Till then I'm waiting round for no one Aus Songtexte Mania
