Wide-eyed, Legless
Down among the deadThe wide-eyed and the legless, only half a headHalf a mouth to laugh in the portholeWith the mold and faded epitaphsWill you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows?Will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes?I don't think soOut in the hornet rain the swarming stingersPumping poison through my veinsLying on the star-crossed lover's mapTake the beating lash, lash for lashWill we ever more kiss on the boardwalks fading rail?In the light of the waves and the comet's waning tailI don't think soNo more looking back, looking back, looking backFaded epitaphNo more looking back, looking back, looking backFaded epitaphNo more looking back, looking back, looking backFaded epitaphNo more looking back, looking back, looking backFaded epitaph Aus Songtexte Mania
