Drag The River
Drag the river with a comb that you just bought for a dollar at the drugstore on the font If you catch a body falling star falling star Is it anybody 'cause those has-beens don't fall far Not like a comet shard not like a bullet shot at a passing car Planned from the beginning from the very start An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts That trick sent us into triple overtime and into sudden death Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net like that gentle retardation that I never will forget I won't forget not like the time you let pass you by like a comet in the night with its tail shining bright a poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight Salt sugar water and grease run through the veins of the local police Wide of the target and short of the mark Like bears in the corner of a national park they don't bark like dogs or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog They never move too fast too far or too soon The night you beat me up you said it wouldn't last and you thought it would sink into the past but it never could and it never will I drag the river and I feel it still A candy coating on the bitterest pill but I taste it Aus Songtexte Mania
