Trampoline Songtext
von The Nixons

Fifteen minutes later
You don′t seem so famous
The arms that raised you overhead
Take you to your grave instead
With your wedding ring
And your trampoline
You try to touch the sky
You could never get that high
With your silly songs
Everybody sings along
But don't know what the fuck you′re saying
Five miles to the start of
You began to see it's really not that hard
Voices chanting, praising you
But where are you without your tune?
With your broken past
Another passing fad
Wanted to see how far you could fool them
With the wrong intentions
Bumped the best of friends


You could have been king
If you'd gotten out of bed
And you try, try to be patient
Why, why did you fake it?
Could be this is nothing
Could be you′ve got no pot to piss in
Loud voice, loud sound
To save you when you′re coming down
With your swollen glands
Another passing fad
Wanted to see how far the envelope would open
With your vaseline
Everybody sing
Goodbye to savior
Goodbye to king
And you try, try to be patient
Why, why did you fake it?
Hope you're happy in your new world
Is the pain gone?
Was it better to burn out
Now that you′ve faded away?
Why would you, why did you
Why would you, why did you
Why did you fade away?
I wish you, I wish you
I wish you would have tried
Try, try to be patient
Why, why did you fake it?
Try, try to be patient
Try
