If you let me I’ll be mine WHEN YOU BLOCK MY PATH I’LL COME OUT OF MY DREAM YOU COULD BE A DREAM JUST ANOTHR DREAM IF YOU STEAL MY TIME I WILL TAKE IT BACK I’LL COME FROM FAR AWAY FAR, FAR AWAY Someday... If you let me I’ll be mine

Suicide 01:41
I saw my baby falling Out of her window Knocked on her door To say how I was sorry She said I’ll manage now Oh honey don’t you worry Well I’m just looking For that good ol’ glory Suicide... And then I saw her dive Dive into the river Went to her with my boat To find out why she did it She said I’ll manage now Oh honey don’t you worry Well I’m just looking For that good ol’ glory Suicide... Alla fine la mia vita era tutta fra un salto nel vuoto e un altro, e un ballare sulle ceneri.
