Arrive in a hive city somewhere in the east floating down a crowded street as though I am or I will be released Elly's stopped yawning, clear blue morning In mourning no more Come and see the wild things that are Just beyond the door But there's an old man here He claims that he knew you in another life I'm not sure what he's sayin', Elly, Could it be he still thinks you're his wife? I've been waiting, seems like eternity I've been waiting, waiting for you I'm still waiting if you remember me I'll be waiting, waiting for you Trinkets sing on a desert wind behind here Where ghosts have laid their final claim to rest But who they left and what they thought they'd stayed for Has crumbled in their last dusty caress They were so blind They were so blind Songtexte Hiding in a hotel room, somewhere in the west I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place But it remains unblessed Things move around - my guitar sometimes plays itself They say it's static electricity but Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf There's a young man here, says he married you In another time The children cry and ask where their mother is Gonna have to let them down Yeah, I've been hurt Yeah, I've been around Limpet shells are fading in the valley Where once the sea had strength enough to reach But out of the twisted metal of discarded fortune's curse No one here can quite translate the verses that they wanted to preach They were blind Aus Songtexte Mania
