A Cold Old Worried Lady Songtext

von Triumvirat

A cold old worried lady
Took my habd today
She warned of gloom, impending doom
I laughed, and I send her on her way

Then as she closed my garden gate
She turned to me and stared
There was nothing said, but inside my head
I felt, just a little bit scared

Alone inside my empty house
I reflected on her words
Prediciting things so bad, I guess she must be mad
Still I wish, I wish I'd never heard

As shadows began to wash my room
Thought about my past
The mistakes I made, the dues I never paid
Am I a ship, without a mast?

I know I wasn't always wrong
But I wasn't often right
'Cos when being kind means being left behin
It's a choise, a simple choise of black or white

Everybody gets what's coming
And it's just what I deserve
I'd be crueler still, 'cos I've got the will
But I never, no I never had the nerve

I'm a lonley empty body
A worn and faded brain
So I'll stay inside, where it's safe to hide
And I never face the world again

Is there nothing left to life for
Nothing left to do?
It's a crazy pain, when your life's in vain
I'll be glad, I'll be glad when mine is through

I think I'll use my shotgun
Or a hundred colored pills
Though I don't know how, really mean it now
I'll try anything, anything, anything that really kills

Lord, a strong imagination
Should be locked inside your head
Now there is no pain, but I can't explain
Why I wish, I wish I wasn't dead

A cold old worried lady
Took my hand today
She warned of gloom, impending doom
I laughed, then I send her on, her way
