The place where i stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
The place where i stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping wino
Dont mind the crowds
Search for the spaces
Turn around time goes on [Turn around time's gone]
A day to day basis [Take ten paces]
Been up ahead
Can't made head or tail of it
I drink till I'm drunk
And I smoke till im senseless
See you black and white
Feel in slow motion
I drown myself in sorrow
Until i wake up tomorrow
The illusion of confusion is not from where I am sat
different recycles resemble me
different levels of the devils company.
[Primera.]
They lead us outside, take us out quietly
To the cage through the bars
You see scars: results of my rage
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino
Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino
the mind's a crowd -- search for the the spaces
And turn around time's gone, I take ten paces.
Been up ahead - can't make head or tale of it
I drink till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless.
You see in black and white, feel in slow motion,
I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow...
(Tricky: The illusion of...until I wake up....)
