Another Boy Drowning Songtext
von The The

Monday morning, I looked the mirror in the eyes
I think I′d kill myself, if I ever went blind
Your life is slipping away,
You found out you're older than you thought
- You were today

You′ve gotta stay optimistic
It gets harder by the second
We all know we're edging our way toward - the end.
- Carving hearts and crosses in my head -


There's people on the streets
Throwin′ rocks at themselves
Coz they ain′t got no money -
And they're livin′ in hell -
But there's animals down the road
Adding fuel to this heat
It never did take much guts to be a sheep.

There are no voices - as the time approaches,
I wanted to be like Bob Dylan
Until I discovered Moses
Saturday night I was lying in my bed
The window was open and raindrops
Were bouncing off my head
When it HIT me like a Thunderbolt!
"I don′t know nothing and I'm scared
That I never will"

You pray to your god, that you′ll never feel so much pain again.
But the agony - has just begun.
Movin' on, opening new doors,
Life... just doesn't seem that simple anymore -
And in case I don′t see you again,
I hope you′ll feel glad that you knew me - while I was HERE!
