LULLABY FOR THE GARDENER - Lyrics we try to put it to bed say good night and farewell we want to wind it all in leave a kiss on its chin let it sleep provide all of those dreams we recalled but in oblivion sank let us find them again let us find them again let us find them again I beg God it feels strange do I long for the past to take care of us now? no I wont pretend that no I wont pretend that no I wont pretend that cos´ we have put you to bed said the final farewell no more drowning in tears dehydrated by fear you can’t die nor give up feed us love interrupt one could think peace would come I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know no no no blow the limit for how far we go go go to survive and find out adequate sorrow source might been hidden just under our skin your skin baby so soft and loose what kind of flowers will feed of your mould? forget-me-not scorpion grass I see them scatter taking over the head court! blue ocean of horror vacui - well trust is no word anymore red brick house a tank in fear a tank in fear is a tank in fear to sink we try to put it to bed tear all furniture up tosse that garden away pills were burning like hay hiding traces all day long but wicked heart play this song its rock´n´rolling our ground rock´n´rolling our ground its rock´n´rolling our ground rock´n´rolling our ground and I don’t know where to turn spirit smashed to the wall speeding marry-go-round when the shit hit the fan when the shit hit the fan well the shit hit the fan we have put you to bed placed a stone by your head heavy hearted and free: what is left out of me? hundred years made of war: left your warier soared with a blindness for their supernatural love force supernatural love force supernatural love supernatural love love love love is the antidote able to nock nock nock nock us out of the spin drilling holes in the door leading in to purgatory-life our lives sister come squeeze it out! not a drop in the ocean refused bad attitude disbelieve your divinely love-filled cool creature! blue ocean of horror vacui - well trust is no word anymore red brick house a tank in fear a tank in fear is a tank in fear to sink |
