Dirt - Roine stolt

The flickering TV reflects in the needle

Someone’s little baby just overdosed

The highway patrol just killed a speeder

Who’s responsible for all this grief?

Who puts the guns in the hands of the killers?

The cynic just reached another high!

Innocence lies slowly dying in a sad and lost America

When the light goes out we just can’t help but falling

You see, we all dig the dirt and we all dig the moaning

When the light goes dim and all the bad keeps coming

We all can dig amiliar smells of thousand years of torment

We get intrigued by crime, 'cause death is mystifying

See, people dig their lives, but love the art of dying

And when the mercury falls I see the soldiers coming

It’s just another move in a pointless game to justify the torment

When the light goes dim it strikes without warning

It’s like a wave of anger and dispair, in spirit of the moment

A man without a name will never see the morning

A million died in Africa I fear and still the world was barely yawning

I really don’t know where it’s coming from

I thought you loved us, but I must be wrong

Just when I thought it’s gonna work out fine

You send those nameless shivers down my spine

Just when I thought that all was nice and clean

You send those demons to distort my dreams

You send the bellydancers up from hell

There’s something wicked but I just can’t tell

Something lurking down in the deep

But love’s last warrior has fallen asleep

Tiny ripples but they travel fast

A wall of mud will be king here ever after

Another triumph for the unexpected

All rhyme and reason disconnected

Love just drowned in the wishing well

Outside a dark and dirty hotel

Nameless bodies cover the ground

Somewhere in the distance there’s a barking hellhound

Dripping oil from abandoned tankers

The smiling Goddess is cold and stiff

Another triumph for the unexpected

All rhyme and reason disconnected

Love just drowned in the wishing well

Outside a dark and dirty hotel
