Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

After years of waiting nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize

I'm a reasonable man
Get off, get off, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x2)

After years of waiting
After years of waiting nothing came
And you realize you're looking, looking in the wrong place

I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x 2)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x 3)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x 3)

After years of waiting
You're a reasonable man
Get off our case (x 3)
I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x 3)

I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case (x 3)
I'm a reasonable man,
Get off my case (x 3)

I jumped in the river, what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt (x 3)

There are barn doors
And there are revolving doors

Doors on the rudders of big ships
We are revolving doors

There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors
And there are secret doors

There are doors that lock And doors that don't

There are doors that let you in
And out
But never open
But they are trapdoors
That you can't come back from

Come on, come on
You think you drive me crazy
Come on, come on
You and whose army ?
You and your cronies
Come on, come on
Holy Roman empire
Come on if you think
Come on if you think
You can take us on
You can take us on

You and whose army ?
You and your cronies

You forget so easily
We ride tonight
Ghost horses

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn
I saw a light coming on

I used to think (x 2)
There is no future left at all
I used to think

Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
Never look back (x 2)
What would I do ? (x 2)
If I did not have you...

Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all (x 2)

I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my eyes
I'm not coming back

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog
They would have drowned you at birth

Look into my eyes
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth

So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

I want you to know
He's not coming back
He's bloated and frozen
Still there's no point in letting it go to waste

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

Morning bell
Morning bell
Light another candle
Release me (x 2)

You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
coming down the chimney
Release me (x 2)
Yeah...
Release me (x 2)

Where'd you park the car ? (x 2)
Clothes are all over the furniture
And I might as well
I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Run around around around around around...

Cut the kids in half (x 3)

There are many things
To talk about
Be constructive
Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive with your blues
Even when it's only warnings
Even when you're talking war games

Why don't you quiet down ? (x 3)
Quiet down!

You don't live in a business world
You never go out and you never stay
We'll have goals in a liberal world
Living in times when I could stand it, babe
It's all over baby's crying, it's all over baby
I can see out of here

All of the planet's dead,
All over the planet, so let me out of here
All over...

We are the dollars and cents
And the pounds and pence
And the mark and the yen, and yeah
We're going to crack your little souls (x 2)

We are the dollars and cents
And the pounds and pence
And the pounds and pence, and yeah
We're going to crack your little souls
Crack your little souls

We are the dollars and cents

instrumental

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance

And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
My body is floating down the muddy river

Once again I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house

Once again packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in

Once again we are hungry for a lynching
That's a strange mistake to make
You should turn the other cheek
Living in a glass house

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Only only only only only only only only only only....
There's someone listening in
