Check And Double Check
Will you draw me?
Up there on the wall,
Looking down to us all,
You never saw me...
I found a pen and I outlined a life.
You've never cried,
I think I saw a tear in your eye.
Your eyes tell the tale,
I will not ask again.
Now I see what you've lost,
Nothing is quite the same.
By the love of my heart,
Cut my drawing in half,
For I think I'm like you...
Should you draw me...
Waiting for my evenfall.
Farewell, my passion,
You slowly turn pale.
I will long for your warmth,
Ma
Saviour
Tick-tock went the watch on your wrist
Telling you softly of the minutes you've missed
Kneeling down with your head in the bowl
Telling yourself, there should never be days like this
Just when you thought that you had it down
You woke up dreaming of cocaine and clowns
Everybody knew that you sang the blues
No one could guess that you would sing them like this
CHORUS
Smoke and ashes
Smoke and ashes
A comet burns and then it crashes
Smoke and ashes
You spilled the beans on Friday night
Now Monday's here and there's no one in sight
But, hey, that's the price that you've got to pay
For letting yourself get your own way
CHORUS
