Bright Eyes/Neil Young cover medleyThere's no beginning to the storyA bookshelf sinks into the sandAnd a language learned, forgot in turnStudied once againIt's a shocking bit of footageViewed on a shitty TV screenYou can squint at itThe snow and staticTo make out what it meansAnd keep stretching that antennaHoping that it will come clearI need some receptionA higher messagePlease tell me what to feel'Cause I don't know what tomorrow bringsIt's alive with such possibilitiesBut I know that I feel better when I singBurdens are lifted from meThat's my voice risingSo T-Bone, please keep the tape rollingWe'll keep strumming that guitarWe need a record of our failuresWe must document our loveSongtexteI sat too long in my silenceGrown too old on my painTo shed this skin, be born againIt starts with an endingAnd I don't know what tomorrow bringsIt's full of such possibilitiesBut I know that I feel better when I singBurdens are lifted from meThat's my voice risingIt's not a movie, no private screeningThis method acting--I call it livingIt's like a fountain, the door is openWe have a problem with no solutionBut to love and to be lovedSo thank you friends for the time we sharedYour love stays with me like sunlight and airAnd I truly wish I could keep hanging around hereMy joy is covering me, soon I will disappearHe came dancing across the waterWith his galleons and gunsLooking for the new worldIn the palace in the sunOn the shore lay MontezumaWith his coca leaves and pearlsIn his halls, he often wonderedThe secrets of the worldAnd his subjects gathered round himLike the leaves around a treeIn their clothes of many colorsFor the angry gods to seeAnd the women all looked beautifulAnd the men stood straight and strongThey offered life in sacrificeSo that others could go onHate was just a legendAnd war was never knownThe people worked togetherAnd they lifted many stonesThen they carried them to the flatlandsBut they died along the wayAnd they built up with their bare handsWhat we still can't do todayAnd I know she's living thereAnd she loves me to this dayI just can't remember whenOr how I lost my way Aus Songtexte Mania
