Delivering Idiots Songtext
von Stabilo

I′m grateful for these things
These things are grateful for me
But these, these gifts are plagues
And these plagues are candy coated
But I only hope it brings
A smile and all those other little useless things
'Cause these hands are tied
To an arm and to an eye that won′t abide

I'm not, not doing that well today
Self-control was never my forte
So I called a friend
Jesus with a pager and a Mercedes Benz
'Cause there′s a limit to ourselves and all the games we play
And it′s a metaphor we use to define our day
It's only rhythm, it′s only sound
But we're not accustomed to the tempo
And we find it too loud and all the time


Yeah, you look like a star
And I talk like a fool
And I′m delivering idiots and photographs
It makes me look cool
It makes me look cool

I'm doing much better today
It′s just it's hard to focus on the things I hate
I'm not too worried ′cause I know I′ll get my vision back

At least I'll have a weapon to defend these attacks
If I could only find a filter for these tricks
Then I could bury the riddles deep, deep in the mix
It′s not the lines, it's more the tone

More often it′s the volume that can make it hit home
It's not the songs that determine if the record sells
It′s the faces and the videos that we know so well
It's the push from the whores in the leather chairs
They package our emotions and they market our fears
And the rise to the top is the fall from below


And I've never been one to see writing on walls
Still you call me crazy
And don′t walk on in, don′t expect me to listen
Don't you try to save me
Because I′m too impatient with all explanations
That make you feel like
You really reached me, I'm changing my ways
I believe, oh-ho, oh

Ooh, don′t talk about
What happened fourteen hours ago
And it's okay if you smile
Okay if you smile, but please
When you look like a star
I talk like a fool
But I′m delivering idiots and photographs
It makes me look cool
It makes me look cool
