Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You'll be hard pressed to find a face worth its weight in golden hammers
Like finding sewing swords in grass
Like finding Jesus in a gunfight
Don't hold your breath
I've got a heavy head but it ain't shining worth a damn
You won't see these eyes till your mop-headed รbermensch arrives
With candy flowers in his left
And a snubnose in his right
High noon knuckles pointed at the sky to shoot the stars down to your hands
Storks nosebleed-diving, drowning in a pool of foolish foresight
Would be the worst of all my crimes
I know I think too far ahead
But I live for days behind and I've gotta split the difference somehow
You won't see this face till it's made of birds and planes
Going up and somewhere useful
But I've been cooped up in this phone booth
With a voice for silent film
Getting dizzy while the music tries to swell
I'm a candle-winged man that went and promised you the sun
But you can't hope to hold me to it
You could fill a book with what I know in half a minute
And you'll still be wasting time
Don't you let me change your mind
You won't hold these hands till I know them like the back of one
Until the splinters fall away
And make a mountain by the wayside
With a line of mole men, miles wide, trading shiners to the peak
In this hall of mirrors, walls tell me I'm a child
But in a house of childish men
Please tell me, who the hell are you?
From where I'm standing, you're still the biggest bastard baby in the room
Till my bones can house a brain worth its wrinkled trains of thought and open Cooper's crate of cash
I can't pay you off for time wasted on my ass
So I won't bother you for nothing anymore
I won't bother you for nothing anymore (I won't bother you for a goddamn thing)
I won't bother you for nothing anymore (I won't bother you for nothing anymore)
I won't bother you for nothing anymore (I won't bother you for nothing anymore)
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
I will bother you no longer
