The apple of another man's eye You and I were getting high In the middle of a broken down downtown Nobody else around to interrupt us I'd ask you if you want to get corrupt as the time allows But I don't see how We could ever walk the high road in this town So I look at you and burn as the summer setting sun goes down And it's a story I imagine's been told Since the apple crop of old got sold To a brown-eyed girl named Eve And the price of paradise became too much for me So I cover up my nakedness before you and stand Half a shadow of a broken and dilapidated man Caught hanging 'round the stairwell Staring at the slippers that you're wearing Like a ruby pair of high-heeled shoes And if there's nothing left to lose, why do I hesitate so? Yeah, it's going to bruise, but the pain's not so great So anyone could tell you, it doesn't hurt a goddamned soul Or take up too much time But something tells me I should go Grab my things and hit the road SongtexteSing my things you'll never know And walk too slowly On the way back home I find it easier to breathe And tell myself what to believe Another night falls and nobody calls It's got you staring at the walls As the thoughts of all that crawls get the best of you 'Cause there's a million ways to die, but it just takes one For everything you're working on to come undone Luck favors not the rich, middle, poor nor prepared man And going anywhere can result in getting scared out your chair So take this paranoia from my shaking hands And be there when this jet plane lands To put me back together In the shape of a man that can hold you tight And I will bury you in tales of a land Where everything is always going just like we planned Much better than the shit that we're in But you're drifting again I can't seem to make it through to you But that's the way it always goes And I should probably find my clothes I'll sing my things you'll never know And walk too slowly On the way back home I find it easier to breathe And tell myself what to believe Aus Songtexte Mania
