jimmy_jazz: Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes Looking for a part of me that’s still alive Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rise
Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in Summer turns to autumn, winter turns to spring And it all flies by like a speeding train
Dead wishes on a broken chain White roses in a dead man’s dream Down and out with everything to lose If these long dead wishes never do come true
Waiting for the night to come and chase away All the flies hovering around my head With my memories for a pillow and all my regrets for a bed
Standing on the corner now I'm past surprise Yelling out a warning to some passerby I stand just as God made me and I lie down in disguise
Dead wishes on a burning lake White roses for my soul to keep Diving down with everything to win If my long since sunken ship ever does come in
Round and round we all fall down And that's how ancient mountains crumble
Time keeps moving slower Like falling from the sun Come and knock me over I keep getting up Throw a line down to me Keep hanging on...
Standing on the corner don’t apologize You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes Or pretend that you don’t see me
Dead wishes on a broken chain White roses in a dead man’s dream Down and out with everything to lose If these long dead wishes These long dead wishes never do come true
Round and round we all fall down And that's how ancient mountains crumble (2x)
Looking for a part of me that’s still alive
Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rise
Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in
Summer turns to autumn, winter turns to spring
And it all flies by like a speeding train
Dead wishes on a broken chain
White roses in a dead man’s dream
Down and out with everything to lose
If these long dead wishes never do come true
Waiting for the night to come and chase away
All the flies hovering around my head
With my memories for a pillow and all my regrets for a bed
Standing on the corner now I'm past surprise
Yelling out a warning to some passerby
I stand just as God made me and I lie down in disguise
Dead wishes on a burning lake
White roses for my soul to keep
Diving down with everything to win
If my long since sunken ship ever does come in
Round and round we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble
Time keeps moving slower
Like falling from the sun
Come and knock me over
I keep getting up
Throw a line down to me
Keep hanging on...
Standing on the corner don’t apologize
You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes
Or pretend that you don’t see me
Dead wishes on a broken chain
White roses in a dead man’s dream
Down and out with everything to lose
If these long dead wishes
These long dead wishes never do come true
Round and round we all fall down
And that's how ancient mountains crumble (2x)
