Magazines Songtext
von Steady Hands

I had my head in the water
You had your head in the clouds
I was an unpaid martyr
Gettin′ up by gettin' you down
You were my first bartender
And we were just summer in every town

Back when I first went starvin′
But my skin was gettin' thick
It's hard to have a small problem
When you′ve got a house so big
We had our lives in the future
We were gettin′ ready for anything

When we drove down that dimly lit street
Well, I never saw him comin'
Wish I could take back everything


Hey, little man, won′t you step back from that ledge?
You've got the whole world on your shoulders
But now you see it′s on your head
Hey, little man, won't you step back from that ledge?
You′ve got the whole world on your shoulders
But now you see it's on your head, it's on your head

We had our eye in the dungeon
Livin′ in a modern castle
But the flames were all too bright
For us to even see our shadows
The great American novel
Written on the pages of magazines

When we drove down that dimly lit street
Well, I never saw him comin′
Wish I could take back everything

Hey, little man, won't you step back from that ledge?
You′ve got the whole world on your shoulders
But now you see it's on your head
Hey, little man, won′t you step back from that ledge?
You've got the whole world on your shoulders
But now you see it′s on your head, it's on your head


When I ran into you by the obituary before you left town
You never came around
And I underlined the places that we meant to see but never got around
I never come around
'Cause you lost everything, never got the chance to leave
′Cause you lost everything, never got the chance to leave

When we drove down that dimly lit street
Well, I never saw him comin′
Wish I could take back everything

The great American novel

It was nothin' but a head cold
The great American novel
It was nothin′ but a head cold
The great American novel
It was nothin' but a head cold
The great American novel
It was nothin′ but a head cold
It was nothin' but a head cold
It was nothin′ but a head cold
It was nothin' but a head cold
