Phantom Limbs Songtext
von The Slow Death

I thought I saw you out in the street tonight.
And with three years past I′d thought it would be alright.
But my heart went up into my throat. I felt like I had seen a ghost.
It's been a long day and I need a drink.
Need to get away from everything.
So lets raise our glasses and toast, trying and never coming close.

It′s so funny, so goddamn funny.
I have to laugh to keep from crying.


I'm all after hours, night after night.
And I'm all "it′s gonna end tonight"
You would say I don′t make sense and I must be gone out of my head.
I hope it's raining out where you are tonight.
And I hope at least, you miss the light.
Then at least we both can miss, cause it ain′t fair the way it is.

It's so funny, so goddamn funny.
I have to laugh to keep from crying.

Don′t think about it, try not to talk about it.
If it comes up, try to laugh about it.
It really ain't no big deal.
It′s just a phantom limb, now everything is healed.

It's so funny, goddamn funny.
I have to laugh to keep from crying.
