Jackals hide behind handsome faces Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me In a bedroom of a brick & stuck house A girl in Seersucker pants reached for a book To pass the day away Not yet knowing the proper way to read The girl took the tales as fact and cried all afternoon After dinner and after her daily bath Clean-skinned and dump-haired she lay down to bed As the lights went out Under an Amish quilt and inside her flannel pajamas The girl wrestled with troubled thoughts Troubled sleep, troubled dreams The elevator opens on A while frost-bitten world I step out and the doors slide closed Leaving me alone With the only one who could hurt me Jackals hide behind handsome faces Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me Songtexte Old Giapetto sold all his winter clothes To buy books for his wooden son Who lied, lied through his nose And when the circus wagon came rollin' through the town The boy jumped aboard and left Not even a note In desperation over this disappearance The old man with arthritic hands tore down his house Plank by plank And carried each one by one, down to the harbour Trading his shoes for some nails and a hammer to build To build himself a boat The waters are wide But I will find my child I'll set out into the sun Until I met my end In the belly of a whale Jackals hide behind handsome faces Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me Nineteen eithy two, Mercedes Blues and the rumbling sputter Of a diesel engine and the gooseflesh returns Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame We can't see ourselves inside this moving sedans The windshield's too busy to reflect The outside looks lovely and oh so tempting The light on the smokestacks and water towers beckons me Beckons to me So hello, my newfound friend Disaster Come sit down at our round-table Let us ask your advices Should we bring on the accident ? Drive on my friends There's love beyond this bend Sky's falling doctor's calling But still it's worth the wait Time's passed Time is passing And time will pass Jackals hide behind handsome faces Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me Aus Songtexte Mania
