Scoundrel Days Songtext
von Emou

Screaming, screaming, screaming...

Was that somebody screaming?
It wasn′t me for sure
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows
Put my feet on the floor
Got my wrists on a backboard
And head for the door

Outside on the pavement
The dark makes no noise
I can feel the sweat on my lips
Leaking into my mouth
I'm heading out for the steep hills
Leaving me no choice

And see
As our lives are in the making
We believe
Through the lies and the hating
Love goes free


For want of an option
I run the wind ′round
I dream pictures of houses burning
Never knowing, nothing else to do
With death comes the mourning
Unannounced and new
Was it too much to ask for
To pull a little weight?

They forgive anything but greatness
These are scoundrel days
And the clouds call out their names
As blight hits my face

And see
As our lives are in the making
We believe
Through the lies and the hating
Love goes free

I reach the edge of town
I've got blood on my hands
Their hands touching my body
From everywhere
But I know that I've made it
As I run into the air


And see
As our lives are in the making
We believe
Through the lies and the hating
Love goes free

And see
As our lives are in the making
We believe
Through the lies and the hating
Love goes free
