Dance With The Devil
It’s been a long long time since I saw you the way you were Under the pale blue moon, a reflection is all I heard A message from a book and a photograph came to me While I was sitting on a secret so big I could not relieve Because there’s a story of a girl who was discovered beneath the street Found in the corner of a subway with blood at her feet Repetitious boredom and a lack of programs on tv Rather than talking to her friends or writing a song like me This story’s grown too long And the flowing blood is now all gone The brainwash your God had on you Is over now you’ll make it through This story’s grown too long As I’m driving down the street I realize I got no headlights on The music’s cranked up and I don’t see the kid start to run Into the street I slam my foot on to the brakes The car screeches to a stop, but I realize it’s too late You’re not about to sell out all your dreams for the money But what you don’t know is that your time is oncoming You walk into the corner store the robber wants the money from the drawer You catch him by surprise and your brains are splattered on the floor Standing on this bridge I’m going to jump off soon I’m starring at the stars and the pale blue moon If I jump my life will come to an end Said goodbye to all my friends Aus Songtexte Mania
