lyrics

Drowning Fool

My true I
Does not know my name
It wears a secret
Like an ever burning flame
Searched for pearls
On a ship of fools
Played dirty chess
With other people´s rules

So come on
Says the gamblin man
All or nothing
As best as you can
Let´s have a look at the surprise
Let´s get lost in sonic tumbling dice
So come on
So come on

My true I
Does not know my name
Like a passenger
In a never landing plane
My blue eyes could blind the sun
I´m free because
I´m always on the run

The night runs out
For a brandnew tool
Another deck of cards
For a drowning fool
Who counts the hours
Who cleans the pool
A grain of sand is left
For a drowning fool

My true I
Does not know my name
Like a zombie
In someone elses game
Searched for pearls
On a ship of fools
Played dirty chess
With other people´s rules

So come on
Says the gambling man
All or nothing
As best as you can
Let´s have a look at the surprise
In this room sweet bird of youth
Throws the lucky dice
So come on
So come on

My true I
Does not know my name
Like a passenger
In a never landing plane
Without a doubt I walk the line
The very next U-Turn
Should be mine

A life burns out
Like a Son House Blues
Another deck of cards
For a drowning fool
Who counts the hours
Who cleans the pool
Another demon sucks
Another game to choose

O Mama gimme help
I´m a drowning fool

O Mama ...
A drowning fool
