Pere Ubu - Muddy Waters

par SpotLyrics ·

After they've taken everything that we might have owned
After they've stolen the thing that we have loved
It's then they say It's just not enough

Like Muddy Waters to a recalcitrant guitar player
With a hand like a fist pins him to the wall
Looks him in the eye says Boy you must go

Fire is like a mirror
We were standing there rocking on our heels
Watching the heart of the flames

Smoke is like a door
Through it you never come back to me
I was standing on the outside inside looking out
And I was seeing someone that's too far away

I was standing on the inside looking out
Looking at the outside and I was asking myself
Why do I delay any longer than this?
