Memory Lane
It's quite a gamble to speak out of place Those things could kill you but so could your face What occupies me, pays a low rent Because fondness makes the heart grow absent These things I say, may seem kinda cruel So here's something from my heart to you Looking at you, reminds me of looking at the sun And how the blind are so damn lucky Those holes on your face could be used better ways Breathing's a distraction when you chatter away These things I say, may seem to be lies To seem risque, or sensationalize And too many people can remember your name Always walking you down memory lame These things I say, may seem to offend But not half as much, as I'd like to intend Listening to you, reminds me of A motor's endless drone And how the deaf are so damn lucky SongtexteI'd be happy, if life came to a stall Then I wouldn't need my senses at all These things I say, might seem out of line But day to day, I'm right every time Looking at you, reminds me of Looking at the sun Too long You'll find That in no time You'll be talking to yourself Along with everybody else Then you'll despise The look in their eyes It may be difficult to tell If your looking at yourself And you look fine If you don't mind That gaping hole that's on your face A black hole that's out of place And out of time In a tight bind To find something smart to say When a silence comes your way Aus Songtexte Mania
