Double Decker Death Machine Songtext
von Melanie Baker

I thought I knew myself
I thought I knew how I felt
Now I′m thinking, "What the hell?"
I thought I knew myself
I quit my job last month
I thought I was being punk
I wanted to quit the rat race
Now I fall on my face
Oh, what a shame

The words of Patti Smith bring me back 'round
Remind me of myself and why I′m writing it all down
I need to find my way back home
I've been riding on this double-decker death machine alone

Wise up, baby
You've been stuck in a one-man band
You′re going crazy
Throw out your five-year plan
Don′t burn out, baby
You've been stuck in a one-man band


Sometimes I run a bath
I think about starting a new band
Or I′ll get a new tattoo
I just wanna feel brand new
I just wanna feel brand new
Like the way I used to

The words of Patti Smith bring me back 'round
Remind me of myself and why I′m writing it all down
I need to find my way back home
I've been riding on this double-decker death machine alone
Death machine alone, so

Wise up, baby
You′ve been stuck in a one-man band
You're going crazy
Throw out your five-year plan
Don't burn out, baby
You′ve been stuck in a one-man band

I wanna watch you drive away
But in my seat, I feel so safe
She told me not to waste my life
You know it′s just a ride or die
I know it's just a ride or die
I know it′s just a ride or die
I know it's just a ride, but
I′ve been riding on this double-decker death machine alone, so


Wise up, baby
You've been stuck in a one-man band
You′re going crazy
Throw out your five-year plan
Don't burn out, baby
You've been stuck in a one-man band
