Songtext von Waltz For Grandma's Sake

Old age wisdom and the world grown bald But you're still amazed by every little hair that falls And I wonder if repetition makes one forget Cuz I'm under the impression that you're fraudulent You're not really old Tantrums reveal that rich experience And those naked gums - the loss of all your confidence Then you serve a dish I try hard to avoid And it's backwards, my learnation is going to be destroyed Finding worth in the worthless Time spent learning to regress I listen, try to care, say "mm-hmm" here and there But there's something else inside I try to be polite, make you feel all right I can be anything you like I'll be a virgin forever Cataracts - everyone's the same old blur And those stale snacks make me feel and feign inferior But I'll make believe, trying to cooperate And I hope you don't see me hide it underneath my plate I'll get a backache and stumble over both left feet Awake nervous knowing that we'll meet Must I tolerate this useless game we dance and sing? Cuz I don't relate, and I'm not learning anything at all Force a circle into a square dance Insist the future try and relive the past I listen, try to care, say "mm-hmm" here and there But there's something else inside I try to be polite, make you feel all right I can be anything you like I'll be a virgin forever I don't wanna dance, na na na...
