The Waterboys - Rags (Second Amendment) lyrics
Your rating:
Everything is rags and there's nobody to blame but me And it would be so easy if there was noone to hurt but me But now everything that I do coming out of me will just tear through you In and out of you up and down your life like a curse (So that when the sun bursts, When the rain falls, when the wind blows, I rip through your heart. On a horse called Nightmare, bucking and spitting, I ride to your house In the home of Bluebeard, blood flows as red as any flag Death cries "Victory is mine!" Laughter echoes, and Death just claps his hands And then time stands still, castles fall, lightning strikes the tower, announcing Chaos Sunday's Child scales the walls of a paradise then dives into darkness. A fool playing god with one foot in Eden, one foot in Hell And blindness in his brain and fever in his eyes Lies on his tongue still saying "This is just a dream" / Cast by the only son of rags who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters But he wanted nothing more, my loved one, than to wrap you up in JOY But it never be with me -- you and I are like TWO WORLDS not meant to collide Death to each other in the unravelling of time So how do you... how do you like it? what kind of dream would you call it - To have one foot in Eden, one foot in Hell To be always numb, plagued by demons Summoned by angels at the same time, ENDLESSLY) But I will burn me right out of this place. I will lay you down to sleep so when you wake I'll be gone and you Will remember nothing You will remember...
