Deportees - Great Heights lyrics

rate me

I heard that you jumped a train

All I said seemed in vain

I saw you dancing with your death

Waiting for its last caress

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Stay up late and clean your mess?

Am I supposed to watch you fall

From great heights forever more?

I said I’d be waiting

I said I’d be waiting

But you didn’t leave me

But you didn’t leave me a thing

I know that we’re made of dreams

Music, books and mean machines

You’re laughing like a diamond shines

I fail to tell you all the time

That I can’t stand standing by

To see you fail, see you die

Am I supposed to watch you fall

From great heights forever more?

I said I’d be waiting

I said I’d be waiting

But you didn’t leave me

But you didn’t leave me a thing

I heard that your kingdom fell

That no one was around to tell

If you laughed or if you cried

The day your luck said goodbye

You told me just wait and see

Things will turn eventually

Am I supposed to watch you fall

From great heights forever more?
