Die Sattlerei

******
You’ve been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh whats becoming of me?

Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean
Oh dont you see what I mean?

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough

Wer hat geschrieben:Let's go to a rave,
And behave like we're trippin'
Simply 'cause we're so in love.

Funny hats, shiny pants-
All we need for some romance,
Go get dolled-up
And I'll pick you up.

There's no line for you and me
'Cause tonight we're V.I.P.
(I know somebody at the door).

I see that twinkle in your eye,
You shake that ass and I just die,
Let's check our coats and move out to the floor.

Now there's no point in placing the blame.
And you should know I'd suffer the same.
If I lose you, my heart will be broken.
Love is a bird, she needs to fly.
Let all the hurt inside of you die.

...
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find

Oh, when I was young
I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world
I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone
So insecure
I blamed you instead, made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I wouldn't hear what they had to say
* *** *****
Self destruction's got me again
* *** *****
I realize now that * *** *****

And I think about my loves
Well, I've had a few
Well, I'm sorry that I hurt them
Did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted
Put my heart on the shelf
But how can you love me when you don't love yourself?
It was me against the world
I was sure that I'd win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

* *** *****
Self destruction's got me again
* *** *****
I realize now that * *** *****
* *** *****, yeah
* *** *****

I grew up fast
And I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody
I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me
I got society's blood running down my face
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long?
Until I realized that * *** *****

* *** *****
Self destruction's got me again
* *** *****
I realize now that * *** *****
* *** *****
Self destruction's got me again
* *** *****
The only moment that I was me
* *** *****

Saturday I love you like gold
Not like the Monday, you pass like a ghost
The fire killed you like a motherless child
I saw you last Sunday at Barbara Hotel

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus -
cos those rosey days are few
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel -
but it's up to us to change
This **** ****** ******.

Rows and rows of disused milk floats
stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come
fast and furious
In a **** ****** ******.

Struggle after struggle - year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice -
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a **** ****** ******.

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a **** ****** ******.

The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere -
just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings -
lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will -
but I'd sooner put some joy back
In this **** ****** ******.
