What happened to my brother? The life in his eyes?Did something shake his brainOn that long bus ride?What happened to my brother? Swear he had my mother's faceWhat I'd give to find himHold him in a long embraceWhat happened to his body? Why's he look so white and empty?When he shows up at my doorJust don't know himUsed to sit and talk for daysNow he lays there in a hazeUntil some tiny little nothingTriggers psychotic eruptionWhat happens when he's sleeping? Why's he wake up crying and screaming?Knockin' into walls and running Like hungry animals have come to gnaw his bonesLap up his blood from a ditchbank in the mudLeave his scarecrow and the sticksFor the blackbird and the blue jays to pickFor the nature to encroachFor the waters to approachFor the snow and autumn leavesSongtexteTo be buried underneathFor the rivers to riseWashing out into the tidesWhat happened to my brother?Used to have his pick of loversA whole array of pretty onesMy brother was a silver sunA heavy weight, a headboardA front man, a waterfallA stroke princeNot the second, but the first violinSo far, so far, so far againThe violaSo far, so far, so far againThe celloSo far, so far, so far againThe violinHe's up, he's up, he's up in his roomGone soloHe used to dazzle usLeave a trail of magic dustAt the end of every jokeWe would laugh so hard we'd chokeHe could turn over a stoneFind an endless world of bonesUsed to bring the sweetest kissWe went to him to be upliftedInspiration, friendshipWe needed love, we needed tipsOh how I miss, how I missMy brother, I missYou asked me "what's he do?"He swallows reds, he swallows bluesStares off into the night skyYou ask me "what's he do or why?"So far, so far, so far againThe violaSo far, so far, so far againThe celloSo far, so far, so far againThe violinHe's up, he's up, he's up thereLayin' low Aus Songtexte Mania
