P!nk Hintergrund

Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah...

Momma please stop cryin', I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin' as I sit up in my bed
I told God Du didn't mean those nasty things Du said

You fight about money, 'bout me and my brother
And this I come Home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin' what Liebe could be, you'll see
I don't want Liebe to destroy me like it has done my family

Can we work it out? (Can we?) can we be a family? (Can we?)
I promise I'll be better (I promise),
mommy I'll do anything...

I'm lying here on the floor where Du left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have Du done?
I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine, cause it's making me itch
I sagte I tried to call the nurse again, but she's being a little bitch
I think I'll get out of here

Where I can run, just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear, you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
You keep making me ill
You keep making me ill

I haven't moved from the spot where Du left...

[Live Recording:] This Weiter song is called, "I Have Seen The Rain",
and it was written Von my Daddy, Mr. Jim Moore.
He wrote it back in Vietnam about 40 years ago.
And I grew up Singen it with him at different Vietnam Vet. functions.
That's how I learned how to harmonise and how to Liebe an acoustic guitar.
And the way that we recorded it, that was my Dad's first time in a recording studio,
and he always sagte that singers don't really have to work too hard;
he changed his mind that day.
When we did it live, him and I live in the vocal booth together,
him playin' and singing, and me harmonising...

Du took my hand, Du showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Ah huh, that's right

I took your words and I believed
In everything Du sagte to me
Yeah huh that's right

If someone sagte three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and schlagen, punsch them out
Coz they're all wrong
I know better
Coz Du sagte forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no

I wish I could touch Du again
I wish I could still call Du a friend
I'd give anything

When someone sagte count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But...

Have Du ever fed a lover with just your hands
Closed your eyes and trusted
Just trusted

Have Du ever thrown a fistfull of glitter in the air
Have Du ever looked fear in the face and said, "I just don’t care"

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have Du ever felt this way

Have Du ever hated yourself for staring at the phone
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have Du ever been touched so gently Du had to cry
Have Du ever invited a stranger to come inside

It's...

Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
I stood Von the exit door of the hotel café
He was playing with his band
I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a gitarre and a drink in his hand
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
Watching Du save my life with the song

You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh just for one night
Just for a while

There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on Du that slips away

Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuccino
I sagte what kind of man makes cappuccino
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed...

Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows no

Nobody likes
Nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows
No

Baby
Oh the secret's safe, sicher with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last Angel – Jäger der Finsternis has flown
And I've Lost my way back home
I think nobody knows no
I sagte nobody knows
Nobody cares

It's win or...

We don't wanna go home
We're bad people and we do bad things [2x]

[Verse 1]
Here we go, don't ya know
We're the ones that keep it wicked
Rock n' Roll, all good, mix it up
That's my ticket
Cruisin' in my Cadillac Escalade trickin'
Sometimes like it easy, sometimes
Like it rugged
Keep control, don't ya know
Hit the floor, run for cover
Flew around the world about fifty times over
From New York to LA to the white cliffs of
Dover, the road can be my enemy
The road can be my lover

(watch how we do this here
yeah, watch how we do this here)

[Chorus]
From the humble neighborhoods
We're takin' over the dance floor
From...

[Chorus]
Why was I the last to know
That Du weren't coming to my Zeigen Du coulda
Called me up to say "good luck"
You coulda called me back Du stupid fuck
Why was I the last to know?

[Verse 1]
First date, we ate sushi and
It went well, I was funny and
You sagte I was a cutie
That's the last thing I heard from you
I left the tickets at the door for you
I had to tell my mom that there was
No Mehr room
You didn't show, that was so uncool
You coulda called me back

So i guess this means that we're
Not Friends anymore, I heard
It's me you're asking for, I thought
I'd see Du at the show
You sagte you'd go

[Chorus]...

Daddy was a soldier he taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we take
advantage of
Once I fed the homeless, I'll never forget
I look upon thier faces as I treated them with
respect
And

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

Momma was a lunitic, she liked to push my buttons

She sagte I wasn't good enough, but I guess I
wasn't trying
Never like school that much, they tried to teach
me better
But I just wasn't hearing it because I thought I
was already pretty clever
And

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score...

[Chorus:]
Can't take me Home to mama cuz she wouldn't think I'm proper
Shoulda thought about that before Du f***** with me
Don't say you're fallin for me, don't tell me Du adore me
Cuz all you're thinkin bout is f***** me
Can't take me Home to mama cuz she wouldn't think I'm proper
Shoulda thought about that before Du f***** with me
Don't say you're fallin for me, don't tell me Du adore me
Cuz all you're thinkin bout is f***** me

Why'd ya even talk to me, baby were Du curious
You knew Du never had a Liebe like this
My Liebe was serious, had Du delirious
Don't front, I felt it in every kiss
You try...
