Nothing must pass this line
|
Unless it is well defined
|
You just have to be resigned
|
You're crashing by design
|
|
You once believed that crazy accidents
|
were happening to you
|
You were chasing a capricious wind
|
Whenever bad luck and trouble
|
happened to pursue you
|
The dice would surely save your skin
|
But when you look back you must realize
|
That nothing in your life's divine
|
Everything that's ever befallen you
|
Happened simply 'cause it crossed your mind
|
You're crashing by design
|
|
Nothing must pass this line
|
Unless it is well defined
|
You just have to be resigned
|
You're crashing by design
|
|
In your single-roomed flat in a courtyard building
|
You sit alone just like a broken toy
|
Where's your mother, where's your lover
|
and where are the children
|
Are you a man or still a boy?
|
Who left you behind, or did you run
|
From the crush of so many options?
|
Now you know the special despair of the man
|
Discussed, debated and offered for adoption
|
|
Nothing must pass this line
|
Unless it is well defined
|
You just have to be resigned
|
|
Another man without a woman
|
Dropped like a tool no longer required
|
A man who longs for the stifling
|
Milk flowered bosom, a fool
|
who's no longer desired
|
|
Another man without a woman
|
Too many rages have cost you this time
|
Another man among a hundred children
|
You're just a child who is lost in time
|
|
You're crashing by design
|
You're crashing by design
|
I't all happens by design
|
I't all happens by design
|
You're crashing by design
|
|
I't all happens by design
|
I't all happens by design
|
You're crashing by design
|
