Crash Test Dummies - An old scab

Tekst :

I sit each morning
Look at my empty notebook
The room is quiet
The air conditioning sounds like rain falling

Manic-depressive composer Robert Schumann
When he could not write
He d get down on his knees and he would pray for help

It s not as bad as eating your own liver
But still, I d like to think that there are better methods

I try to tackle the page that lay before me
But then I drift off and think about the concept of ben-wah balls
I rouse myself and I finish washing dishes
Make lists of errands
Make all my phone calls
And then I pray for help

But each time I try to make a fresh stab
I end up just picking at an old scab

    Divine
    Exquise et chagrine
    De la vie, est orpheline

    Enfantine
    Reine et ruine
    Maudit soient ceux qui t ont prise

    Greta rit, et moi je rougis
    Greta tremble, la mort lui ressemble
    Greta meurt, j entends dieu qui pleure
    Greta aime, divine infidele
    Baisers froids comme elle
    Je l aime

    Quand la nuit vous a conquise
