Travis - Chinese Blues |
|
The snow was falling on |
|
his shoulders by the side of the road |
|
And he watched as the sun went down |
|
Falling on the building |
|
Swallowing the children |
|
It's the gun in your back |
|
It's the heart attack |
|
It's the way you look back |
|
before you step out |
|
In time to see the number |
|
of the bus that's running you down |
|
A million lonely people with their bead |
|
in the sand |
|
Trying to make some sense of |
|
what they don't understand |
|
Waiting on somebody just |
|
to give them a hand |
|
You're designed to fall apart |
|
on the day the warrenty ends |
|
And you try but you just can't stop |
|
Running round in circles |
|
Knocking over hurdles |
|
It's the knife in your back |
|
It's the heart attack |
|
It's the way you look back before you step out |
|
In time to see the shadow |
|
of the one that's cutting you down |
|
The snow was falling on |
|
his shoulders by the side of the road |
|
And he watched as the lights came on below |
|
And the children were sleeping |
|
And the women were weeping |
|
There was nobody keeping him here |
