Know a man...his face seemed pulled and tense...
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds... Magnetfolie Foto
So I approach with tact...suggest that he should relax...
But he's always movin' much too fast... Muttertagsmandala
Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taken for a ride sportalm kitzbühel
He's been takin' too much on...
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes Was ist Muttertag
There he goes...
He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture... Basteln de
It doesn't look the same up on the racks...
We go way back... Weihnachtliche Bildschirmschoner
I wonder 'bout his insides...
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size...
He's been taken...where, I don't know?
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope...
There he goes...
And now I rub my eyes...for he has returned...
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
For he still smiles...and he's still strong...
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown...
And now he's home, and we're laughing, like we always did...
My same old, same old friend...
Until a quarter-to-ten...
I saw the strain creep in...
He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next...
Before his first step...he is off again...
