What If Nobody Would Catch Us? Songtext
von David & the Citizens

It′s the saddest thing you'll ever see
Have I not been right so far? Tell me:
When your mind collapses and turns to gravy
A thick brown mud is all you see
- I don′t know it but I know somebody
I don't know it but I've seen the movie

I could call you up, tell you what I′ve got
is the drop that will make the stone hollow
′Cos the story's not over buttercup - it is merely beginning
Kings and queens will come and pass
Kings and queens will come and pass

And there′s always a bigger ocean to swim
There's always a better pond to drown yourself in


Wake up wake up wake up you′re dreaming
I see nightmares dancing underneath your eyelids
So come on take that frown, turn it upside down
I will forget myself and play that happy clown
Like we balance on a rope above the rooftops
And if we fall, there's nobody to catch us
There′s nobody to catch us
There's nobody to catch us
There's nobody, there′s nobody...

But there′s always a bigger reason to see
Always something else, something bigger than me
So I burn my belly with gallons of coffee
Trying to keep up some
kind of happy face in this fucked up place
But the story goes on and on and on...
