Faint Obelisk Two Songtext
von Royal Bangs

I saw your friend the other day
He was trying to get free
Bags underneath both his eyes
He said this work is gonna kill me
Brought him a drink
Said read a book or something
But on your way
You′re wasting away
And you can't even say why

Try to break out
Or try to be good
You try to be good or you try to break out

Cracked suns quietly wail
Brass fence fancy but frail
Feet at the fringe hold it all right
Dull screech of brakes in the night

Try to break out
Or try to be good
You try to be good or you try to break out


Machines make up the rules
Need circles zoom in on you
All those moves no one proves
Glass cage panels too bad

Try to break out
Or try to be good
You try to be good or you try to break out

Floodlights flash in the dark
Weird waves plowing through cars
Knocked out preserved in a jar

Try to break out
Or try to be good
You try to be good or you try to break out

Try to be good or you try to break out

I saw your friend the other day
He was trying to get free
Bags underneath both his eyes
He said this work is gonna kill me
Brought him a drink
Said read a book or something
But on your way
You′re wasting away
And you can't even say why
