Swordfish Songtext
von Wires on Fire

Swim like a swordfish, son
Spread our name around
Claim your crown
It needs you
I′ve told you of birds, bees, power, greed
Suck on the seeds of these gold plated trees
Don't you wanna know

So now you′re born again
Hold your breath until the winter
Where you're frozen to all your friends
Lying and cheating, your cracked broken tongue
Huffing and breathing, your black broken lungs
Born again


Like father, like son
There's talk in this town
Not pinned down
Young swordfish rejects this
He′s strong, mean, guts to be seen
Waves it at the face of American dreams
He just wants to find home

So now you′re born again
Hold your breath until the winter
Where you're frozen to all your friends
Lying and cheating, your cracked broken tongue
Huffing and breathing, your black broken lungs
Born again

I looked in the mirror of your mind
A laugh comes back sometimes
In all the homes
Everywhere, everywhere
We laugh about the times
Sometimes
(And we laugh, a-ha-ha)

(Laugh about your dreams, about your goals)
(Laugh about the strings tied to your soul)
(Laugh about your dreams, about your goals)
(Born again)


I looked in the mirror of your mind
A laugh comes back sometimes
In all the homes
Everywhere, everywhere
We laugh about the times
Sometimes
(But we laugh, we laugh about)
