Sisyphus Songtext
von Garbage

On and on
On and on and on

I′m stuck at the bottom of everythin', and I′m lookin' up
I can't help wonderin′ to myself if I′ll get back up
Do I have the mind to do it all again?
Do I have the will? Do I have the strength?
Can I push that boulder up the hill again, just like Sisyphus?

Saint of love
Saint of pain
Saint of joy and sufferin'
Saint of fear
Saint of rest
Saint of lockdown, saint of health

This little body of mine is gonna make things right
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right

On and on
On and on and on


Open your eyes and sleep, the sky is blue, they′ll try to hoodwink you
They'll tell you different, but you must resist ′cause you know the truth
I snagged a boy who ate the moon
I loved a dog with the heart of a wolf
Don't look away, take in everything whenever possible

Saint of queer
Saint of loss
Saint of the Earth and animals
Saint of sorrow
Saint of pain
Saint of forgiving, saint of rage

This little body of mine is gonna make things right
(I′ll make things right)
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right
(I'll make things)
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right
(I'll make things right)
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right
(I′ll make things)

Pain killer
Sleep killer
Scene stealer
Dream killer


Saint of children
Saint of kin
Saint of trans and black skin
Saint of protection
Saint of peace
Saint of truth and rememberin′

On and on
On and on and on

This little body of mine (on and on)
Yeah, this little body of mine (on and on and on)
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right (on and on)
Yeah, this little body of mine is gonna make things right (on and on and on)

Pain killer
Sleep killer
Scene stealer
Dream killer
