Bright Eyes - The center of the world

Tekst :

At the center of the world
There s a statue of a girl
She is standing near a well
With a bucket bare and dry
I went and looked her in the eyes
And she turned me into sand
This clumsy form that I despise
It scattered easy in her hand
And came to rest upon a beach
With a million others there
We sat and waited for the sea
To stretch out so that we could disappear
Into the endlessness of blue
Into the horror of the truth
See, we are far less than we knew
Yeah, we are far less than we knew
But we knew what we could take
Girls found honey to drench our hands
Men cut marble to mark our graves
Saying, we ll need something to remind us
Of all the sweetness that has passed through us
(fresh sangria and lemon tea)
The priests dressed children for choir
(white-robed small voices praise Him)
But found no joy in what was sung
The funeral had begun
In the middle of the day
When you drive home to your place
From that job that makes you sleep
Back to the thoughts that keep you awake
Long after night has come to claim
Any light that still remains
In the corner of the frame
That you put around her face
Two pills just weren’t enough
The alarm clock s going off
But you re not waking up
This isn’t happening, happening, happening, happening,happening
It is

    First class

    The sellout clothes they wear
    Still fit the new line
    Blood s thicker than water
    So they say
    It isn t what you know
    But who you are
    Where you ve been
    And what you ve got
    A first class ticket to...

    Einen stern

    Einen Stern der Deinen Namen trägt
    Hoch am Himmelszelt
    Den schenk ich Dir heut Nacht
    Einen Stern der Deinen Namen trägt
    Alle Zeiten überlebt
    Und über unsere Liebe wacht

    Seid Jahren schon leb ich mit Dir
    Und ich danke Gott dafür
    Das er mir Dich gegeben hat
    Als Erinnerung an unser Leben
    möchte ich Dir heut´ etwas geben
    Ein Geschenk...

    Verboten 2

    Fünf Meter hinter mir ja da darf er gehn
    Auf keinen Fall darf er neben mir stehn
    Ansehn darf er mich aber ich ihn nicht
    Anlächeln ist schon fürchterlich
    Ich kenn das schon
    Das ist eure Tradition
    Aber das ist eure Welt
    Ich will tun was mir gefällt

    Doch das ist ja verboten Alles ist verboten
    Verboten Alles ist...

    Hero

    I am so high, I can can hear heaven
    I am so high, I can hear heaven
    Whoa, but heaven…, no heaven don’t hear me.

    And they say
    That a hero could save us
    I’m gonna stand here and wait
    I’ll hold onto the wings of the eagles
    Watch...

    Heartstrings

    Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don t hardly shine
    If it weren t for my true love, I d long ago lost my mind
    I d long ago lost my mind

    There s good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere...
