View From the Watertower Songtext
von The Book of Knots

I′m counting cars
I'm counting passing clouds
I′m counting how loud, loud
Loud, loud my ears can
Hear me roar!


All the spiders love me
Water tanks above me
Racing through with orange paint on faded blue
I climb up there and draw a heart for you
I draw a heart for you
Yeah, the stars aren't in heaven, babe
They aren't in heaven, babe
They′re in passing cars
Legendary locust
Dust, dust, dust, dust
Baby, there′s dust inside
Maybe numbers are starting to lie
I gotta get out, I gotta try
I knew a guy
Who went over the bridge here just to die
Quiet now
That's ten speed
Quiet now
That′s more silence than even I do
I gotta get out
I gotta stay awake!
I gotta get out
I gotta stay awake!
Gotta stay awake!
I gotta stay awake
I gotta get out of here


I knew a guy
Who went over the bridge
Here just to die
Quiet now
Let's fuck off time
And admit we′re never going to stop
Existing in a dead moment
This time, time is a joke
We wear on our wrists
And we just don't get it
Mom, Mom, Dad, Mom
Too long, all the while
A child, child, child inside
Breeding numbers and speed
And fast trains out of here
Get me the fuck out of here
I don′t care if it's time
I don't care if it′s fast
But get me out of this place
F-fuck, ooh

Square root of six-six-six
Is approximately five squared
Is three times Route 74
That′s place to numbers nine-nine-nine
At the 83rd decimal place it just
73rd and one-one-one and it's third of the fifth
And the seven-seven-seven in the Sioux City sits
And its decimal place and it adds its fourth
With dot dot dot dot dot
Who gives a shit?
Digital numerical core
As soon as we see the number three
It′s really more like four!
I fuck with nine and 54!
Because it's all just more, more, more!
More, more, more!
More, more, more!
Stay with me
Stay with me
I blink my eyes
The spans of lies
A hundred times I′ve seen you die
For us babe, for us babe

As in my head I start to cry
Listen to me inside and tell me am I dead?
It's in my head
Let′s fuck off time!
Well just the same
Let's fuck off time!
There'll never be enough time
Never be enough time
Never be enough time
For me to love you
There′ll never be enough time
For me to love you!
Completely

Mom′s in the back
Walking out a mat
Dad's on the porch
Swing another bee sting
All the while the child, child, child
Inside breeding numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers and speed
Come with me babe
And fast trains
Come with me babe
Out of here
Come with me
Get me the fuck
Come with me
Out of here
Come with me
I don′t care

Even if it's nowhere
