The world is sick

Machine Translations


three days without water and i see what you mean now 
i got caught in the detail 
your face in the courthouse when the wind started blowing 
your hat in a corner 
the world is sick but it's something you'd better not see 

willows and a tired looking ocean 
i wanted to feel young and drive in a motor car 
i'd call you but then after all you said 
it would be simpler if i did you no favours 
in a world that is sick and there's some place you'd rather be 

three days without water and i wore down my welcome 
and i ground down my charms 
i know now you'll just have to go now back to the slaughterhouse 
and punish your mind 
for the world is sick and it's something you'd better not se
