Firebase Ripcord Songtext
von Neil Michael Hagerty

In the summer time we went down there
In the summer time, we did go, oh

We were surrounded by strangers
I cannot think it over it today
Everyone′s so close by even when I shut the door
They were still so close

Sometimes, you know I just can't get over it
Oh, those happy, happy days when I felt so alone
Escaped from a world ruled by the dreams of children
Make me into the creature I desire they praise

Ah, it′s so much better now but it feels so hollow
When no one is on your neck
Making you regret what you had to do
You better stay busy, baby or else they'll catch you dreaming too

What do you wish for and what comes true
Anybody that was good was burned out so
Another day just keep up all the bad, bad work
'Cause they were driven out so y′know, you really ought to learn


Like an obese on wooden crutches slowly crossing the room
Holding me up for an hour, advice and colds to give

Forgetting to consider that I could not care the wind is
Because I feel so much better now, I like having it all out there
If I turn away I′m looking somewhere else
Now 'bout the many here return

If I′m walking it's not that I′m walking away
If I'm walking it′s not that I'm walking away

Out of reach, c'mon, c′mon, c′mon
You're out of your mind

Oh, you′re looking so old, acting so cold
I don't know what you did to deserve it
When I saw you yesterday
There was nothing left to say

But c′mon, c'mon, c′mon
I'm out of reach now

And somebody walks by hands over their face
To told me to scar your sweet, tender chances
Hit and stick and say it's true
Still I wonder what I can do


So c′mon, c′mon, c'mon
You′re out of your mind

Save those rays for someone, any mother's son
Dreams of diamonds and rings
They can never feel things that they can′t understand
Yeah, when I saw you yesterday
There was nothing else to say

But c'mon, c′mon, c'mon
You can't believe that
C′mon, c′mon, c'mon
I′m out of reach now
