Songtexte Funniest Story - Pyrolysis

I fell down the drainpipe and slept in the pool
And I woke with some sunlight kicking in like a mule
All the vicars and scholars were all done with their chores
When I finally was able to stand on all fours
I went off to the place where the floor met my eyes
And I met with the people's adventures and lies
About storms, about pressure, about windows and wine
I could laugh but the funniest story is mine

Because I'm a drunk, a sinner, a runt, a beginner
I'll never deliver the gold back to you
I'm a mess, a critter, a fraud and a quitter
Expect me to fall, because that's, what I'll do

Now the drinks are abound and the evening is set
I've been here before and I think I'll regret
That I gave up my chances to go up the hill
Where my old friends have gathered to pay their next bill
These great minds think alike but the lesser do too
I used to think harder but now look at this crew
We beg and we borrow to make these ends meet
I'm lost in my pint, in my mind, in this street

Because I'm a drunk, a sinner, a runt, a beginner
I'll never deliver the gold back to you
I'm a mess, a critter, a fraud and a quitter
Expect me to fall, because that's, what I'll do

I keep coming back for some more of the same
As the faces grow older in search for their fame
I forget when I'm slower and I lower each day
So do give me the next one of many to pay
I will go down the same way, it's written in stone
Swayed in the vision and drenched to the bone
I will fall in the waters to hide all my cries
And the sun will then beat me for not watching it rise

Because I'm a drunk, a sinner, a runt, a beginner
I'll never deliver the gold back to you
I'm a mess, a critter, a fraud and a quitter
Expect me to fall, because that's, what I'll do
