Mendokusai Songtext
von Tellison

There′s a certain quiet honour in a failure
It's a subtle thing and subtle things are rare
But to know it you′ve got to be it, you've got to know the quiet shame
Of a life, wasted

We are all broken-necked


Dreiser got it right the West's a Tragedy
And they get you in a boat out on a lake
It′s to know your hopes and be tied by ropes on a bridge above a river
With dreams of a future, with dreams of escape

We are all broken-necked

There′s something evil in the night
It's creeping across the Atlantic
It makes you think you′ve got a right
To happiness and then it's tragic when you′re proved wrong

We are all broken-necked
Swinging from the timbers at Owl Creek Bridge
