IAMX - Oh Beautiful Town
текст песни

I grew up blind just like everyone's child,
In the warmth of milk and deceit,
Smothered by love and the chemical dust
There was never enough to believe.
They chewed me up, they spat me out
Of their system and onto their street
And the rest of my life was a sprint to forget
All the greatness that could never be?

Oh beautiful town,
I remember you blacker than night,
The whores and the sick-mouths, the bad taste
And the neon lights.
Oh beautiful town,
Where are you now with your binge insecurities?
I shut you down, beautiful town,
Because you tear your children?
Into pieces.

Absence twisted with fondness?
Is the horror I couldn't forget,
Programmed in the grat art
Of family, lies and debts.
Too much expectation
Followed by hope and then hate in the mess
And the rest of my life was a glorious test
Of my will and my selfish neglect.

Oh beautiful town,
I remember you blacker than night,
The whores and the sick-mouths, the bad taste
And the neon lights.
Oh beautiful town,
Where are you now with your binge insecurities?
I shut you down, beautiful town,
Because you tear your children?
Into pieces.

On the floor boards under insolent feet,
I mapped the hopscotch to my parents' retreat,
With a lavender bag in my hand
And words of desperation on my tongue:
Good night father, good night mother.
Are you still awake ?
