What Can the Matter Be? Songtext
von Stick in the Wheel

When you tried, you tried it was for nothing
You′d give it all for a chance to run away
I'll let you know these times they were a-coming
Still you shut your ears and turn your head

Oh dear what can the matter be
What can the matter be
What can the matter be

Meet me down by hell that′s now froze over
Let's go over this one more time
Pick your pace up man we don't want you falling
A second glance from you is all I need

Oh dear what can the matter be
What can the matter be
What can the matter be


Turn you back around keep on walking
Before you know it boy you′re on your knees
Look into my eyes you will see nothing
And least of all you′ll not see me

Oh dear what can the matter be
What can the matter be
What can the matter be

And when you think you're safe then I′ll be rolling
I let you know one day I'd come for you
Pick your friends the only ones to save you
Choose them wise to live another day

Oh dear what can the matter be
What can the matter be
What can the matter be

Come you gather around you ladies and gentles
I′ll tell you of a tale you're not meant to see
And if the inside here is too shocking
Remember that you never heard it from me

Oh dear what can the matter be
What can the matter be
What can the matter be
