Paterson Songtext
von The Ratchets

Took a walk through this town two lefts and a right
When I look in your eyes I can almost see the light
In the rooms where we board they pack us in tight
I repeat the words through morning, noon, and night

Every wall has been built so through mountains we′ll climb
Stop calling my name before the colors are dry
Cause we're printing the forms and turning rocks where they hide
Still cupping our ears to hear the roar inside

Every trip has a point where words stop spilling out
And there′s an answering book in each side of our mouths


Under the sun
Despite where we're from
We've got marks between our eyes
Oh Paterson

There was an absence when I thought that we were done
There was an egress in the place we thought was gone
I′m gonna walk until my walking days are done
I′m gonna hope until this albatross is gone
Well you set it off
You know we set it off
We said it all
