Thrasher Songtext
von Madrugada
Thrasher Songtext
They were hiding behind hay bales
They were planting in the full moon
They had given all they had for something new
But the light of day was on them
They could see the freshers coming
And the water shone like diamonds in the dew
I was just getting up
Hit the road before it′s light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw those freshers rolling by
Looking young and in a two lanes wide
I was feeling like my day had just begun
Where the eagle glides descending
Oh, there's an ancient river mending
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Where sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions
They were lost in crystal canyons
Where the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates
It was then that I knew that I′d had enough
I burned my credit cards for fuel
And headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
With a one way ticket to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
Oh, how I lost my friends
I still don't understand
They had the best selection
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed
Oh, nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
And they became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks and in the stations
They were waiting, waiting
So I got bored and I left them there
They were just dead weight to me
Better down that road without that load
Brought back the time when I was eight or nine
I was watching my mama's TV
It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode
Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Through libraries and museums
Galaxies and stars
Down the way to the end
Where the eagle glides descending
Oh, there′s an ancient river mending
Through libraries and museums
Galaxies and stars
From the door of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The motel of lost companions
Waits with heated bolt and bars
But me I′m not stopping there
Got my own road left to haul
Just another line in the fields of time
When the pressure's coming on
Stuck in the sun like the dinosaurs in shrines
Oh then I′ll know the time has come
To give what's mine
They were planting in the full moon
They had given all they had for something new
But the light of day was on them
They could see the freshers coming
And the water shone like diamonds in the dew
I was just getting up
Hit the road before it′s light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw those freshers rolling by
Looking young and in a two lanes wide
I was feeling like my day had just begun
Where the eagle glides descending
Oh, there's an ancient river mending
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Where sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions
They were lost in crystal canyons
Where the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates
It was then that I knew that I′d had enough
I burned my credit cards for fuel
And headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
With a one way ticket to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
Oh, how I lost my friends
I still don't understand
They had the best selection
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed
Oh, nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
And they became park bench mutations

Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Through libraries and museums
Galaxies and stars
Down the way to the end
Where the eagle glides descending
Oh, there′s an ancient river mending
Through libraries and museums
Galaxies and stars
From the door of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip

But me I′m not stopping there
Got my own road left to haul
Just another line in the fields of time
When the pressure's coming on
Stuck in the sun like the dinosaurs in shrines
Oh then I′ll know the time has come
To give what's mine
