Close your eyes and you draw one more day to a closeYou choose to be aloneYou float through your life as a ghostAnd everything heals given timeAnd everything dies given timeAnd the scars run together, mixing the nerves with the bloodAnd the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn downAnd all your belongings turn to dirt in the groundWhen your heart's deep and dark as a wellAnd everything that's golden and green goes to hellAnd I was born to wind in the cradleAnd I ride on the hot southern breezeand I twist in the green and the goldand you see and there is blood on my elbows and kneesAnd people want to grow old in the cradleWhen there's snakes all around in the reedsAnd you ask me to fear of no evilWhen your fire's all over my feetAnd the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn downAnd all your belongings turn to dirt in the groundWhen your heart's deep and dark as a wellAnd everything that's golden and green goes to hellSongtexteI said bring out your Vivian girlsBring out your cloud-covered girlsand bring me a cup of your tearsand give me the rest of your yearsBecause everything dies, given timeAnd I know that this world could be mineSo I closed both my eyes and I count my heartbeatsand I know that my wings are on fireAnd the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn downAnd all your belongings turn to dirt in the groundWhen your heart's deep and dark as a wellAnd everything that's golden and green goes to hell Aus Songtexte Mania
