I met a woman long ago
Her hair the black that black can go
Are you a teacher of the heart
Soft she answered No.
I met a girl across the sea
Her hair the gold that gold can be
Are you a teacher of the heart
Yes but not for thee.
I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said
But he walked behind.
I walked into a hospital
Where none
Twin Reactor Lyrics
As lightning strikes And shadows burn They come in the night Now for darkness they yearn The fear of the demon Is coming to please The thing got me begging Got me down on my knees I don'
was sick and none was wellAs lightning strikes And shadows burn They come in the night Now for darkness they yearn The fear of the demon Is coming to please The thing got me begging Got me down on my knees I don'
When at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all.
Morning came
and then came noon
Dinner time the scalpel blade
Lay beside my silver spoon
Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make
Are you the teachers of my heart
We teach old hearts to break.
One morning I woke up alone
The hospital, the nurses gone
Have I carved enough, my lord
Sleighbells ring are you listening? In the lanes snow is bristling! A beautiful sight we're happy tonight! Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sing
I ate and ate and ate,
No, I did not miss a plate
Well, how much do these suppers cost
We'll take it out in hate.
I spent my hatred every place
On every work on every face
Someone gave me wishes
And I wished for an embrace.
Several girls embraced me,
Then I was embraced by men
Is my passion perfect
No, do it once again.
I was handsome, I was strong
A punto de explotar mi posibilidad De estar siempre a tu lado y poderte yo amar Cambiara el destino yo por ti Sin ti no puedo ya seguir Como podr? librar con la inseguridad Que has causado tu en mi
Did my singing please you
No, the words you sang were wrong.
Who is it whom I address
Who takes down what I confess
Are you the teachers of my heart
We teach old hearts to rest.
Well, teachers are my lessons done
I cannot do another one
They laughed and laughed and said
Well, child are your lessons done.
Are your lessons done
Are your lessons done
