Songtext:
When i was young Internetgestaltung Bonn I watched the cars When i was older I drank in bars When i was young I chewed the leaves Klebefolie Milchglas When i was older I drank with thieves I found a love She gave me dreams She left me drunk Advent Basteln In new orleans So cold and lonely So all alone I wished my heart Was made of stone Druckerei Leverkusen I took the cold bright needle I used it as a sword My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the lord I burned across the delta Wandtattoo Blumen I swam across the ford My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the lord When i was a young man Standing on this road Ostergrüße Kinder My empty belly An aching hole An old man said to me "kid don't you know That it's the same urall Wherever you go"
I gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds With the smiling saints And the silent saviours With the maggots and the gods I cursed the things they showed me I could never see again And the howling of the wind at night I wrote upon the rain
I found the thing For which i prayed And came back home To the usa With a heart of stone And now i know That it's the same Wherever you go
