Textes et Paroles de The Waterfall

"Maybe you can tell me what this one means, I've no god damn clue...alright, here we go..."It had to be the most singular beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my lifea gigantic waterfall spread out in front of me in the middle of the nightthe rushing water reflected off the full moon-his little starsblinking, whispering, bright flash then fading onand I look there down the giant fall of the water belowand hear the rushing river pounding upon my eardrums, beating slowmy heart moves inside the rhythm the rushing water follows the drumsof break beat, simple broken but easy to track on sonand i drown every fourth count-make my move and nowI feel the rushing water beating, pounding, brain downand as i look back, take an exhalation, ready to do my jobit kinda looks like my face but the...*stutters*...Fuck....anyway i turn around and look at the line that's formed by the waters edgemoving marching with the water and timeand I stand there on a little box at the front of the velvet ropeand every person stands on the cliff, shakes my hand and says: "I know."and I say: "It's good to see you, thank you for coming along."I give them a pat on the back, a gentle nudge, and watch them all falland one by one they take the dive off the edge of the cliffI watch the line spread for miles and it never seems to end-my shift is endlessI watch the seconds on the clock tickand everyone shakes my hand and says the same shitand I gave them the same gentle smile, nudge, pat on the backand I don't recognize any of these faces but I treat them like their friendsand a simple push and watch them slip and fall into the mist, and disappearthe waters so loud, I never hear their bodies hitand the fall must be a thousand miles long, the river must be a million knots deep.and I'm standing here tryin' to make the sense-see:I'm observing myself through this job-I'm not in my bodyI am floating, looking down from maybe ten feet above meand everyone's treated the same: a simple friendly cordial respectas I pat 'em on the back, and gently nudge them by the neckand watch their little frames fall-all float away from me nowand trace one person's body as he drifts all the way downand the water rushes, splashes, look inside their face I see a smile dissipate the heart stop beating from the overwhelming exaggerating shapeof their life thus far they look back and wonder: why they made this choice, I ask them as their fallingand none of them answer-none of them hear-may none of 'em pay attention to me dearexcept for me standing at the top of the cliff pushing them nearto their end, their death, their final fall and failure,and I'm happy that i could help, happy that I could serve themAnd I don't fuckin' know what this means, help me out nowit's just a dream I need more sleep or a cup of coffee to drag me outof this early morning haze, my stupid face and whiskered browand I'm sitting here tryin' of make sense of why I'd kill this crowdand why they'd ask me, why they volunteered for itto put their buck upon the table and let me push them off a cliffput their buck upon the table and let me push them off a cliffput their buck upon the table and let me...I forget...
