To celebrate undying faithWe're gathered here like drifted wrecksfor a late September weddingOctober breathing down our necksAnd I knew this town in another timeI knew this town a younger manWith the world in my hip pocketand a subway token in my hand...You got to meAnd they got candle light and a reggae bandChampagne by the bucket loadLimos lined up down the curbto take us where we need to goAnd I need to go somewhere I've beento find the place I lost the trailWay back then, so long agoI don't suppose you even know you got to meBrought all this empty down on top of meYou got to meWe danced between the snowflakes fallingtripping on the cobblestonesand the trolley tracks, we had it all thenSongtexteChristmas break, your roommates goneWe stoked the fire and let it burntil the embers glowed in the morning lightTrust in the tangle of skin on skinI've not known quite that feeling since you got to meBrought all this empty down on top of meI didn't know that we were not to bebut I know a thing or two nowThe wedding party's raging yethow the old and desperate misbehaveThe limo smells like cocaine sweatcheap perfume and aftershaveIt's gotta be one of these row house doorsI knew the number long agoI'll step out on the curband tell the driver "just go on and go"And you got to meBrought all this empty down on top of meI didn't know now that we were not to bebut I know a thing or two nowThe paper boy wants a smokeLeans his bike against a treeAnd he's tired and cold and brokeand he don't know what to make of meStanding here in my three piece suitStanding here just like I amWith my vest unbuttoned and my necktie looseImpervious to all abuseYou got to meBrought all this empty down on top of meOff on a thousand dollar odysseyand I know a thing or two now Aus Songtexte Mania
