Текст песни Voltaire - Feathery Wings

You, there on the bridge
where have you been, what's your name?
And you, there you on the wall
where will you go to once you fall?
You, lost at sea
do you need me, do you need directions?
Hey, put down the gun
what are you thinking?
You were someone's son.

The taste of tears,
The sting of pain,
The smell of fear,
The sounds of crying out.

A long, long time ago I fell to this place
from another dimesnion.
And thrust amongst the beasts
and they way they behave borders on dementia.
Now through all these years
I can barely take it
I don't think i can make it.
Take me away from here
I want to go home.
I'm so sick and tired of the

The taste of tears,
The sting of pain,
The smell of fear,
The sounds of crying out.
As you're standing at the edge of your life
what do you remember?
Was it all you wanted?

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings.
I wish I could protect you here.
Oh, please don't cry
now smile as you're standing
at the edge of your life.
Your troubles are over,
Mine are just beginning
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings.
To take me away from here
It's me you leave behind.

If only I could have been there
I'd be a hand for the sinking.
If only I could have been there
I'd be a prayer for the dying.
See the pain etched in my face
I'm so sick and tired of
The taste of tears,
The sting of pain,
The smell of fear,
The sounds of crying out.
As you're standing at the edge of your life
what do you remember?
Was it all you wanted?

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings.
I wish I could protect you here.
Oh, please don't cry
now smile as you're standing
at the edge of your life.
Your troubles are over,
Mine are just beginning.

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings.
To take me away from here.
It's me you leave,
You're gone from here,
Don't leave from here,
Don't leave me here,
I hate it here,
You're gone from here,
Don't leave me here,
I need you here,
I need to see you smile.
