Wallflowers, The - I`ve Been Delivered слова песни
I could break free from the
wood of a coffin
if I need
But nothin`s hard as
Gettin` free from places
I`ve already been
I`ve been waste-deep
in the burnin` meadows
of my mind
In the engine
In cold December
shootin` fire from the hose
Now turn off your lights
`cause I`m not comin` home
`til I`m delivered for the first time
I was first-born to a parade
that follows in rows
down a narrow cold black river
faceless shadows
movin` slow
I would move swift when
the sounds of a trumpet would blow
I`ve been the puppet
I`ve been the strings
I know the vacant face it brings
Now the bells of curfew
They may ring before I`m through
But soon
I`ll be delivered for the first time
You might keep clean
in the back of an angel motorcade
It doesn`t matter who walks in
you know, the joke is still the same
You`ll just wake up
like a disposable lover
decomposed
I`ve been gone
I`ve been remembered
I`ve been alive
I`ve been a ghost
So now, if downtown explodes
I`ll still be on this road
`til I`m delivered for the first time
I have drawn blood
from the neckline
when vampires were in fashion
You know I`d even learn
to cut my throat
If I thought I could fit in
`Cause I, I once heard
that you gotta learn
how to blend in to this mess
Where nothin`s hard
nothin`s precious
and nothin`s smooth or flawless
Now, no more amused
just screaming to be delivered
for the first time
Now I`m 10 miles in the deep
and mighty blue sea
Looking back, towards a long white beach
burnin` up into yellow flames
And I just wave back
like a little boy up on a pony
in a show
`cause I can`t fix
something this complex
any more than I can build a rose
So just keep on letting go
`cause I must be close
to being delivered for the first time
Now I`d rather bleed out
a long stream from being lonely
and feel blessed
Well than drown, laying face down
in a puddle of respect
I was once lost
in the corridors of the arena
in blindfolds
I`ve been the bull
I`ve been the whip
I just pulled down the matador
So now, turn on your lights
`cause I`m comin` home
I`ve been delivered for the first time
