Sedalia Songtext
von O Emperor

You were the brains of the operation
I was the brawn, so I swallowed my tongue
Money is a good preoccupation
We were the ones who never lost
But we never really won

Think I′m getting tired of this trail
Footsteps don't trip light, chest is getting tight
And I think you know what I mean
That was your way
You′d always know but no, you'd never say


I was young once, I can still recall
Staring in the mirror not recognizing at all
Something must be lost along the way
Eyes that cry the words they cannot say

I can see them all back in Sedalia
Hands putting smokes to mouth
Eyes seeking others out
I might learn me a rag or two
Something to pass the time
Keep me off my mind
Stay where the law won't find
