When I Give the Signal, Run! Songtext

von The Falcon

This road bubbles in the heat
Chopping rocks, the only cracker that mine eyes can see
These rails have pushed me out of town, pushed me down the line
What once was "mine is yours" is now "what's yours is mine"

And these eyes could stain glass with the glaze you try to pass
The overalls are down but the sheep line up too fast
Shots and bumps and drops and lines
Are old shifty friends of mine

You can move your body to the beat of the pigs
While they rip out your spine and shoot out your legs
You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees
If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed

This morning, in a drunken haze, I think I talked to you
I think we went to breakfast and then walked down to the zoo
I said some things that I don't mean but don't remember now
It happens all the time these days, the words just fall right out

When this joke dies
The party hats and streamers really start to fly

You can move your body to the beat of the pigs
While they rip out your spine and shoot out your legs
You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees
If you're really this stupid then we'll never succeed

You can dance, dance, dance to the beat of the pigs
While they rip out your spine and shoot out your legs
You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees
If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed

Looked up at the sky
I watched the frogs rain down
I watched the blood flood the riverbed
And seep deep into the ground

I looked up at the sky
Where the frogs rained down
Where the blood floods the riverbeds
And sinks deep into the ground

Goddamn!

You can move your body to the beat of the pigs
They'll rip out your spine, they'll shoot out your legs
You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees
If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed

Well, we dance, dance, dance to the beat of the pigs
While they rip out our spines and shoot out our legs
We live for the rhythm but we live on our knees
If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed

Our time, our time, our time is now
Our time, our time, our time is now
