Rooks Songtext
von Parkville

Rollercoaster, stoking fire,
While we broke into desire
Keep me at your knees while you talk
Only ghosts can host a liar
Smile and focus their empire
Keep me feeling pleased and I′ll walk

They got the country's lungs
Held beneath a rubber gun
They got the TV turned right up high
They got their suits, boots, and tails
Nails hammering, hope impales your mind

They come alive when we all go to sleep
And they, let their guard down, and smile like a father
We′re the ones who started the war
What are they fightin' for


Unlimited finger-power, blinkin' till the final hour
Keep me underneath your thumb
Been thinkin′, but thinking′s sour
Thinking ain't gonna shake the tower
Keep me with a bottle of rum

They got the state indoors
Pipes beneath the wooden floors
They got the music turned right up to ten
They got their rooks lookin′ ill
Took time until they took the
End

They, come alive when, we all go to sleep
And they, let their guard down and smile like a father
We're the ones who started the war
What are they fightin′ for
(What are they fightin' for)

(Rooks)

They come alive when we all go to sleep
And they let their guard down and smile like a father
We′re the ones who started the war
What are they fightin' for?
