Another Boy Drowning

(앨범: Burning Blue Soul - 1981)

Monday morning, I looked the mirror in the eyes
I think I'd kill myself, if I ever went blind
your life is slipping away,
you found out you're older than you thought
you were today

You've gotta stay optimistic
It gets harder by the second
We all know we're edging our way toward the end.
carving hearts and crosses in my head

There's people on the streets
throwing rocks at themselves
Coz they ain't got no money
And they're living in hell
But there's animals down the road
adding fuel to this heat
It never did take much guts to be a sheep.

There are no voices as the time approaches,
I wanted to be like Bob Dylan
Until I discovered Moses
Saturday night I was lying in my bed
The window was open and raindrops
Were bouncing off my head
When it HIT me like a Thunderbolt!!!
"I don't know nothing and I'm scared
that I never will"

You pray to your god, that you'll never feel so much pain again.
But the agony has just begun.
Moving on, opening new doors,
Life... just doesn't seem that simple anymore
And in case I don't see you again,
I hope you'll feel glad that you knew me while I was HERE!!!
