Don Quixote Songtext
von Balto

Handfuls of sleeping pills washed down with a bottle of wine
Couldn′t stop my mind, couldn't hold my attention
From noticing the cracks, the holes in my logic
The permanence of the things that I have done

I notice as I′m riding on the subway late at night
In the flickering light that I have always loved
Imaginary princesses, the simple brutal truth
That while riding high I am Don Quixote

Oh I'm a bull in a china shop while sick, slim, skinny frail
I destroy all the pretty things while my body wastes away
And for my crimes they pack me up and ship my soul away
So my fragile arms couldn't cause you any harm or any pain


Oh, a letter comes down from the sky, she writes a lot of nothing
But I lose my mind and spend a whole week thinking
Of all the things I′ve never done, that last and final promise
That I couldn′t keep, or couldn't make it past the border

And every time I touch the phone, the urge takes all my fingers
And my words turn to drool, oh I′ll make her say she loves me
Forgetting at the other end, the pair of trembling fingers
Dials frantically, oh my imaginary girlfriend

Oh I'm a bull in a china shop while sick, slim, skinny frail
I destroy all the pretty things while my body wastes away
And for my crimes they pack me up and ship my soul away
So my fragile arms couldn′t cause you any harm or any pain

So forgive me for the things I've done and all I never did
And I′ll try to do the same for you, I know you're just a kid
Forgive me for the things I've done and all I never did
And I′ll try to do the same for you
The same for you, the same for you
The same for you, the same for you
