Every day of every year You live your life in hope and fear That each small sin and imperfection Is buried deep beyond detection But one by one the ghosts return And each selects its place to burn Into your soft and breaking heart And this is how the aching starts The jokes about the ugly kid The things you said but never did The people torn and crushed and battered The ones you broke but should've flattered Oh you should have run whilst you had time Oh you should have left the past behind The boy from the chemist is here to see you The laughing stops cause he's too near you The girl you left that always loved you Returns to earth from miles above you So wash away the dirty skin There's always worse remains within The tangled web and bitter mesh SongtexteBut each shall have their pound of flesh No sympathy, no charity, no false pleas of humility No money back, no guarantee No great escape for you and me Oh you should have run whilst you had time Oh you should have left the past behind The boy from the chemist is here to see you The laughing stops cause he's too near you The girl you left that always loved you Returns to earth from miles above you And everyone that ever suffered Friend or foe or wives or lovers They'll come back to have their day In time you find your mind has no escape Don't believe that you can hide Don't believe they'll be denied They'll come knocking at your door This is what they've waited for The chance to even up the score The boy from the chemist is here to see you The laughing stops cause he's too near you The girl you left that always loved you Returns to earth from miles above you And everyone that ever suffered Friend or foe or wives or lovers They'll come back to have their day In time you find your mind has no escape Aus Songtexte Mania
