Over The Rhine - Latter days
Tekst :
What a beautiful piece of heartache
This has all turned out to be
Lord knows we ve learned the hard way
All about healthy apathy
I use these words pretty loosely
There s so much more to life than words
There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I ll be okay
They ve taken a toll, these latter days
Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails
Nothing much here but our broken dream
Oh, but baby, if all else fails
Nothing is ever quite what it seems
And I m dying inside to leave you
With more than just cliches
There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I ll be okay
They ve taken their toll, these latter days
They ve taken their toll, these latter days
Tell them it s real
Tell them it s really real
I just don t have much left to say
They ve taken their toll, these latter days
They ve taken their toll, these latter days

One day i decided i d aspire to higher ambition/so i set out on a
Mission to
Change the world/armed and dangerous with my well meant words
And best
Intentions/i went sharing my convictions with every livin
Soul/but it wasn t
Long til the lightning flashed/the storms of disenchantment
Crashed/and my
Ambitions were scattered by winds...
They re not pom-pom dancing giggling girls
They re hard-core fun bunny maniacs
No man can deny them and all men satisfy them
There s no wrong loving-
Just make sure you keep them hungry
If you wanna find them go check the nudie...
Tremble you weaklings,cower in fear
I am your ruler,land,sea and air
Immense in my girth,erect I stand tall
I am a nuclear murderer I am polaris
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My system locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land,air and sea
Pass judgement...
All day, since your haircut in the morning,
you have looked like a painting, even more than usual.
We are in the wind, planting the maples.
We meet an older man who seems to know
I miss my dad.
And he smiles through the limbs.
We talk easily with him
until the rain begins.
This is the brotherhood...
We could write the story of how we fell apart
But your truth and mine ain t the same
So I ll write the words into my heart
Fot the chapter that bears your name
How could people go from a feeling that words can t describe
To a place...
