Rusted Pipe Songtext
von Suzanne Vega

Now the time has come to speak
I was not able
And water through a rusted pipe
Could make the sense that I do

Gurgle and mutter
Hiss and stutter
Moan the words like water
Rush and foam and choke

Having waited
This long of a winter
I find I only
Croak and sigh

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin


Now the time has come to move
I was not able
Water through a rusted pipe
Could make the moves that I do

Stagger and stumble
Trip and fumble
Creap while you trickle
Freezing coffin grip

Having waited
This long of a winter
I fear I only
Slip and slide

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin

Gurgle and mutter
Hiss and stutter
Moan the words like water
Rush and foam and choke


Having waited
This long of a winter
I fear I only
Croak and sigh

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin

Somewhere deep within
Hear the creak
That lets the tale begin
