I've been too far And I've seen too muck Working in the shadows Of your big Ferris wheel I've spent ten 10,000 nights In those sawdust and mud shows I've been walking that tightrope For a room and a meal I said don't look down, yeah The ground might be burning We're turning the corner now We might run into God From the plains of the buffalo, yeah To the wild dogs of Mexico And the loves that have laid us low We gotta leave that behind Oh the rhymes of the rangers And the kindness of strangers I have run all the changes Of the Chickasaw waltz Tasted lipstick and nylon SongtexteSeen the mental asylum Turned my back on the violence Before I turned into salt I said don't look down, yeah The ground might be burning We're turning the corner now We might run into God From the rivers of Idaho, yeah To the wild dogs of Mexico To the loves that have laid us low We gotta leave it behind St Mary, Mother of Patience St joseph of the hammer and the nail Come build me a ladder To the heart of the matter high above the moon tonight On this carnival train She's still in the corner Right next to her mother And Sir Douglas her brother Since she was a child And the difference in years And people's cheap fears The magazine tears Drove us into the wild I said don't look down, yeah The ground might be burning We're turning the corner now We might run into God From the plains of the buffalo To the wild dogs of Mexico And the loves that have laid us low We gotta leave it behind I said don't look down, yeah I said don't look down, yeah I said don't look down, yeah We gotta leave that behind (Thanks to A for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
