everything was just fine…

ca. seit ich denken kann, mag ich dieses Lied! Clawfinger - you can’t catch me…



i been standing on the edge of the roof looking down
i been looking at the people that are gathering around
i been here for an hour - or maybe even more
just looking at the people that i never seen before

stupid little faces are all i can see
those silly little suckers are all laughing at me
no wills - cheap thrills - you’re puppets to the master
your only satisfaction is my lonely disaster
you learned how to creep - you learned how to crawl
but you never really learned anything at all!

when i was a boy everything was just fine
i learned how to talk and how to walk in line
i had to learn the rules that build our society
i could never understand it didn’t mean shit to me
everybody always told me i was out of my mind
but i never did kiss anybodys behind
i’m a lot older and i guess i should know
but i’m standing on the roof just watching the show
standing on the edge and my step belongs to me
and i’m telling you all i won’t miss what i see!!

one foot over - there’s no time to turn around
both feet are over and i’m heading for the ground
i’m flying in the air and i can feel a cool breeze
the people on the pavement have gone into a freeze
no space - no time - it’s like walking on the moon
my heart is still beating but it won’t be soon!
i can hear myself scream when i hit the street
i can’t feel a thing from my head to my feet
i told you i would do it and i didn’t even cry
feelin’ more alive dead then when i was alive!!

you can’t catch me - try to catch me if you can…
you can’t! catch! me! …
