I can't control this flesh and blood That's wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me like a river Into the great unknown I stepped onto the moving stairs Before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues La promessa non fu chiara S'erra solo impressa in me Vidi solo il gelo dentro me Quella notte dise a me Vivrem comme cavalla Liberi dai recinti di ferro Che piu non voglio Rinnegare i sensi su dai fuggiam Vivrem comme cavalli We're the victims of the heartbreak That kept us short of breath Trapped above these bloodless streets Without a safety net I stood in line to join the trial One more customer of fate Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train On the road to the golden gate Nel deserto la nave abbandonai Per me aveva senso Son stato troppo tempo nella bestia Ed ora saro libero Someday we'll live like horses Free rein from your old iron fences There's more ways than one to regain your senses Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses someday Liberi dai ricenti di ferro Che piu non voglio Rinnegare i sensi su dai fuggiam Vivrem comme cavalli

I've been to Hell, I spell it, I spell it "D-M-V" Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean Stood there and I've waited, and choked back the urge to scream And if I had my druthers, I'd screw a chimpanzee Call it pointless When I need relief, I spell it "T-H-C" Perhaps you may know vaguely what I mean I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory As I slowly inflict upon myself a full lobotomy Call it pointless Pointless Barbecues, tea kettles, gobs of axle grease There comes a time for every man to sail the seas of cheese Now, life's a bowl of bagel dogs, but there are unpleasantries Cold toilet seats, dentist chairs, and trips to DMV Call it pointless Pointless I've been to Hell, I spell it, I spell it "D-M-V" Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean I've stood in line and waited near an hour and fifteen And if I had my druthers, I'd screw that chimpanzee Call it pointless Pointless Pointless
