Ball and Chain Songtext
von The Very End

Can′t you hear it? the big uneasy calls! can't you see it comin′?
They paint their doors red while another man falls
His world is lost now, somewhere between mercy and misery
I watch him fall, hold my breath and see - this man is me
So i'm down on my knees, pulled the shortest straw again
Can't you hear it? the big black backwards calls!
Can′t you see it comin′? They dig their graves deep while another world falls
This world is lost now, somewhere inbetween these lines
I watch it fall, hold my breath and find - this world was mine
So i'm down on my knees, pulled the shortest straw again
I′m right down on my knees,
Won't you let me wear this ball and chain
In mercy and misery I wear this ball and chain
