Modern Columns Songtext
von French Wives

Bring me the waves
I need awakening
I will escape
I am escaping this

Cast me away
My toll is taking in
Decision made
Decision making

The poison breeze
You can see what it′s done to me
There's no poetry
In this place, I have come to the

The black clouds will soon clear
Over my part
It′s warm in the sunshine
It's cold in the shade but the same thing to talk to a star


Til it starts
Try to keep goodbye in the part
Til it starts, Til it starts
Hold your breath and keep repulsive spark

No more delays
My years are wasting
It's my mistake
Am I mistakin′?

Better today, better tomorrow
A better way you′d better follow

The black clouds will soon clear
Over my part
See sunshine
And into its splendor it's taking its time to the stars

Til it starts
Try to keep goodbye in the part
Til it starts, Til it starts
Hold your breath and keep repulsive spark

And I′ll leave the smoke by the old modern columns
And I'll take my chances at sea
Head in the clouds but my feet touch the bottom
The water only falls to my knees


And I′ll leave the smoke by the old modern columns
And I'll run like hell through the door
Head in the clouds but my feet touch the bottom
The water, it can fall to the floor

If it starts
Don′t hold your breath anymore
Just get yourself through the door
