In the Coliseums the gentlemen   and its neverending mumbling in sovereignty   classical outspoken sexnoise   from the 5th floor apartment   go down the stairs and disappear   sometimes for days   we have talked all night   you may say "there's nothing in the desert"   I would simply reply that "there's nothing anywhere"      you act like you're on an airplane in the sky   and nothing is on your mind   if I were you I'd wash it away   just like everything is fine      and life seems so simple   wash it down   make it go away [x2]      read a good book   cover to cover   but every little gimmick is getting old now   do you have the patience    to watch old clowns doing the same old tricks   do you want to see me do my tricks?   would it make you laugh or remember today?   can you even remember a day when everything was perfect?   when we could laugh?      you act like you're on an airplane in the sky   and nothing is on your mind      If I were you I'd wash it away   just like everything is fine   and you can't sleep it off this time   it's gonna be there when you wake up tomorrow   don't you wish you could make it go away?   still gonna be there tomorrow      and life seems so simple   perfect all the time   life seems so simple   i wish i was you, sometimes [x4]      so don't go to the show   don't go to the show, tonight   just stay here, stay here   don't go to the show, tonight
