We saw the darkness here
We saw the leaves falling soon
When the leaves were greenest
The birds looked out there
Soon they will fly towards the south
When they have gathered enough strength
And leave us here with death
Is it all
we have ever had?
You forgot the cigarette Smoking in the cup
I threw it and we left
And the streets smoked the dust
But
I froze in my whole body
And awoke for a moment
I bought you a ring
Made of some old lava skin
And took you to a restaurant To come to Rome if possible
And you said I want my back free What we have is a house of cards
We try to live here But when danger comes I want to run fast
There came an old friend to you
And fought in our house
He
said I come now late
From India and Japan
There I became a witness to your mother
A madman took the life of five
Your friend drank himself full and
screamed He didn't want to be human anymore
We went and heard him laugh inside He screamed I pray good God I pray
I want my back free
What we have is a house of cards
We try to live here
But when danger comes I want to run fast
I wrote a letter this morning
I wrote a letter today
I'm ashamed
There is nothing to explain
But I have to defend myself
That's why I wrote a letter
But now I've thrown it away
And the summer evenings are so young
I have to find a woman who can share my room
And you said I want my back free
What we have is a house of cards
We try to live here
But when danger comes I want to run fast
I want my back free
What we have is a house of cards
We try to live here
But when danger comes I want to run fast
