White Knuckles Songtext
von Le Trouble

Panic, panic at the pivotal moment
Set my pulse to the heart of a setting sun
Mania, man I′m getting hot for comfort
And I don't find, I don′t find, I don't find no shelter here

Mother they say you're a towering inferno of genius
Whence they see that you′re nothing but a hot mess
So what did I miss?
Why are we wasting our short lives?

Brother can you tell me if the cigarette I smoke
Is real or something management painted on the wall?
Sister can you help me, is the perfume that you choose
A window into tenderness?

Well now how far does it go?
Will I ever get that close?


Well I am not alright
Well I am not alright here
I have seen enough
So when will I see it again?
I am not alright
Well I am not alright here

Well I can keep it together
If I just keep moving along
Smiling, saying with a smile "why don′t you?"

When you die you'll get to dirty heaven, and you′ll finally be free
But not me, I ain't thinking about no haloed future
And I don′t think, I don't think, I don′t think I like it anyway

Well it ain't no complete loss
But it's far short of a miracle

Well I am not alright
Well I am not alright here
I have seen enough
So when will I see it again?
I am not alright
Well I am not alright here
Well I can keep it together
If I never slow down
