Field of Glass Songtext
von The Triffids

I walk a field of glass,
I buy a diamond ring,
I take a lonesome road,
I′d buy you anything
(He'd buy you anything)
Yeah that′s correct!
I'd buy you anything

I walk a field of glass,
Under the sun of steel,
Beneath that mean old sun,
Erasing all I feel.
I've got a winning deal
(He′s got a winning deal)
I′ve got a winning deal


I walk a field of glass,
And how it burns my shoes
My feet been smokin' black,
Since 1892
And I eat razors too
(Yeah he eats razors too)
Yeah I eat razors too

And when my walking′s done,
And diamonds turn to coal
I'll dig the deepest hole,
Therein I won′t die cold
(Therein he won't die cold)
Yeah that′s correct!
Therein I won't die cold

If you would ride with me,
Yeah come on ride with me
Come ride, come ride
Come ride, come ride with me


This is your first taste of mystery
Hey, do you like it? Feel bitter already?
I could make you feel so young and vulnerable
Even though your Daddy's rich and powerful
I could have made you fishers of men
I′m gonna teach those birdies to sing
I′m gonna teach those birdies to sing
I'm gonna teach all the birdies to sing
So cheaply now

Ride, come ride,
Ride, come ride with me
Ride, come ride
Ride, come ride with me

Well, black summer night,
You can hear my sirens wail,
I gotta take another slug now,
When you hear my engines fail.
On wet black summer night
You can hear my sirens wail.
I gotta take another slug now,
When you hear my engines fail.

Slow down little sweet tooth
It′s a long way down as the crow flies
Will you really nose-dive all the way down?
Are you planning to crash-dive all the way down?
Are you mine, all mine?
All mine, all mine, all mine?
Mine, All mine?
All mine, all mine, all mine?

How does it feel now you've finished school?
You′re diving to the bottom of a deep blue swimming pool
Hey! I'm the one they call the Seventh Son
I′m the one they call the Seventh Son.

How you gonna get your love then?
When you gonna stop these feelings?
When you gonna get your window shopping done?
When you gonna get your Christmas shopping done?
Will you buy now?

High beam headlights on the highway
And headlines said she was going my way
Crowd gathers round,
Could you please stand back!
TV newsman said
She was lying on her back
Still breathing,
Still breathing,
Still breathing, Still breathing hard for you
Still breathing, Still breathing hard for you

Come ride, come ride this pleasure slide with me
Come ride, come ride this pleasure slide with me
Come ride, come ride, ride, come ride,
Come ride, come ride, come ride, come ride.

Summer vacation and it's 40 degrees
I don't get excited, sir, I just feel mean
I got your letter in the mailbox today
Do you really mean all the things you say?
Are you on my side?
What will your friends say?
What will your sister say?
What will your little doggie say?

Daddy, he don′t understand,
Your brothers, they don′t understand,
Brothers, they don't understand,
Your doggie, he don′t understand

Daddy, daddy, he don't understand
Doggie doggie, he don′t understand
Daddy, daddy, he don't understand
Doggie doggie, he don′t understand

He's lost you, he's lost you
He′s lost his little nest egg
He′s lost his little acorn
He's lost his little sweet tooth,
Rosebud, honey bunch, sugar pie,
Pig tails, button nose, buck teeth, freckles, chickenshit,
Sugar pie
Angel dust, sugar pie
Angel dust, sugar pie

I walk a field of glass, I buy a diamond ring
I take a lonesome road, I′d buy you anything
(He'd buy you anything)
I′d buy you anything
(He'd buy you anything)
I′d buy you anything
(He'd buy you anything)
I'd buy you anything
(He′d buy you anything)
If you would ride with me
Come ride with me
