Falling Down The Drain...

Falling Down The Drain...

Für Akikan

There’s this stairway to heaven, I saw it last night, in my dream, in my fucking lost dream.
I was crawling up the stairs, wondering where, will I go, will I go from here.
And while I was wondering, if I’d ever get up, I felt like, my gosh, no, I’m falling…again!
And there was this sea, oh no, right below me, dark as, dark as the night, I went through.
And I tried to use, these wings of mine, but, oh no, Lord, you broke them!

And I prayed, and I prayed,
Lord, please, come catch me!
I prayed, and I prayed,
Lord, ‘ve you forgot me?

And I’m falling down the drain of my soul.
And I’m falling down and the graveyard-dogs howl.
But I’m one, and I’m one, oh Lord, see, what you’ve done,
‘cause I’ve lost all I’ve been wanting to be.
But I’m one, and I’m one, darling, see, what you’ve done,
I forgot about us, you forgot about me!
What about me?

There’s a stairway to heaven, I saw it last, in my dream, in my fucking lost dream.
Too many stairs can be frightening for me, or you, or for anyone I cannot see.
Lord, I’ll forget you, regret, too, forget who, brought me this far, when I fell anyway.
...

Down the drain, dropping down the drain,
Dropping down the drain, dropping down, down, down…
