Rags (Second Amendment)

(专辑： The Secret Life Of The Waterboys - 1994)

Everything is rags and there's nobody to blame but me
And it would be so easy if there was no one 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"

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
(Nothing)
