And the winter was cold When I caught her saving raceWith the truth that you soldA mast of a man Making casts of his puppetsAnd you made her the queenBut a slave to the silence of lost chivalryYou were the match that he struck With no flame there to turn toAnd it's great the way the town shakes when they confessThere's a messenger on the lawnDelivering a broken letterSaving all his words 'til dawnAnd the reason why he left herJack, give yourself some room to growCall your daughter and let her knowYour ruby shoes will bring you homeComposed of all fear and chilled to the boneFrom the worlds that you hear when the priest foughtTo bless all the press you have gottenAnd the pictures will fall, suspended like spiritsSongtexteFrom nails on the wall, and sweep up the messWith the best of intentionsAnd it's great the way the town shakes when they confessThere's a messenger on the lawnDelivering a broken letterSaving all his words 'til dawnAnd the reason why he left herJack, give yourself some room to growCall your daughter and let her knowYour ruby shoes will bring you homeIsn't it wonderful how they lost their innocence?And it's great the way the town shakes when they confessThere's a messenger on the lawnDelivering a broken letterSaving all his words 'til dawnAnd the reason why he left herJack, give yourself some room to growAs static leaves your radioYour ruby shoes will bring you home Aus Songtexte Mania
