The Catcher in the Rye Songtext
von Azure Blue

It doesn′t matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
It's the same thing that has come that will go.
I tried to speak up
(Most of the time I was muzzled by a joke)
But inspiration took a break and I choked.

I said I′d give an eye for you,
But that was just a lie.
I said I'd be the catcher in the rye for you,
But that was just a lie.
I said I'd fight and die for you,
But that was just a lie.
I said I′d steal the sun from the sky for you,
But that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes for you.


It′s just a cycle.
Didn't we all find out long ago?
From Hemingway to The Crystals,
From de Sade to Sade.
It doesn′t matter.
It all makes sense for all I know.
Those starry eyes will glisten,
Till the waves reach the cove.

I said I'd give an eye for you,
But that was just a lie.
I said I′d be the catcher in the rye for you,
But that was just a lie.
I said I'd fight and die for you,
But that was just a lie.
I said I′d steal the sun from the sky for you,
But that was just a lie.
I just closed my eyes.
I only closed my eyes.
I just closed my eyes for you.
