The Living And The Dead
Chose an easy rhyme to fill these moments of your time I tried to keep between the line, looking forward and behind I studied highway archeology, poetry and rhythm As I'm tapping in the forniac this moment of expression It's evolving and dissolving, connecting and exploding, Building up and then eroding It's the end and I keep rolling I played a skinny, indie white boy blues in a scuffed up military style shoes I'm a convenient store connoisseur On a broken shoestring budget tour Flap or float, just barley float Sing it fast and now get them all Get no one knows success It's soon forgotten, put to rest We crossed this country a million times Trillion roads, gazillion signs A re-enactment is this life These words are just a bite from all those heroes that I heard Just paraphrasing words To leave behind a song, A re-enactment of a song Hey I'm in love with this living and the dead Hey I'm in love with the living and the dead Living and the dead SongtexteI'm in love with a lover whose dead I've seen some highs and lows I've seen those (?) And you know he (?) Not a single person goes Driven fourteen hours Just to play into the sound guys He's reading his book We've got to suck it up and try Some bartender's playing on that mega touch machine Hearing on fingernails and tapping on that screen And it's a cold bleak night as the poles bleeding light Detroit's abandoned no casinos in my sight Got to kill my time I'm a ghost out on these streets I'll be sleeping in my truck tonight And not sleeping in your ice cold sheets Got a scrambled heart, it's a little over cooked Got a novel full of wishes missing from your book There's no insurance in this life No protection from the night Too many rules and no direction You walk under a knife It's just this temporality, creating fleeting moments If your lacking in permanent You better make your moment potent ah ugh Hey I'm in love with this living and the dead Hey I'm in love with the living and the dead Hey I'm in love with the living and the dead Hey I'm in love with the living and the dead Living and the dead I'm in love with the living and the dead Living and the dead I'm in love with a lover whose dead Aus Songtexte Mania
