Sophie Hunger Blues lyrics

My brother is a farmer so you ask him what to do

The rain's about to harm you, "build a fence" he says to you

So you build a fence and wonder why you're slowly sinking in

About the chief commander suggesting you should swim

And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear:

"It's strange in here"

Now the whole around you is drowning in a flood

While the military's aiming at the sky that wouldn't stop

My sister is a lawyer so you ask her what to do

Your boy's drowned right before you "let me sue" she says to you

And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear:

"It's strange in here"

Now the whole city's floating gently towards the sea

You're turning to the President: "Ah Sir, don't let this be"

He chuckles once and chuckles twice and then begins to shout:

"Let's bring them clouds to justice, track em down and smoke em out"

And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear:

"It's strange in here"

When I was born I felt a treble in my hand

And in short time it started to expand

It travelled up my arm and settled in my shoulder

From there it filled my chest and scared my heart and took it over

Ever since I'm far from sleep I walk the roads at night and weep:

"Peace, please!"

Soon after I would shake from head to toe

I left my cardboard house in spite of not knowing where to go

I thought I might find silence if I'd move at such fast pace

So the shaking would sort of discharge somewhere along the race

But the more I walked the more I ran the more things got out of hand

God damn!

Under these circumstances it was hard to find a job

Let a lone to touch someone so I'd given up the tought

But then one day I pointed out a figure in the dark

Shaking just as much as me so I offered him my heart

And now guess what happened, there was an earthquake

And the whole thing fell apart

Once she had a dream from which she never would awake

She feared that if she'd touch the ground her hands would start to shake

Nothing ever fades away her kingdom knows no time

The kick of any given kick is perfectly designed

And she can pull it out any time (that's a bit like singin)

The city that she's living in never would insist

On anything of everything, it costs her nothing to exist

Freedom, freedom freedom, free - chains are in demand

When there is no necessity in using your own hands

Well, maybe that's the reason why they're shaking

Now you're banging on her door asking her to step outside

"Come on girl, you must awake, go get yourself a life!"

After endless minutes she answers finally: "maybe you know who you are

But still you search for me, craving for the miracles of my uncertainty"

"You have so much, I miss so much, but what you miss is what you have",

She says

Frome the outside it's you yelling back: "Oh, don't make me laugh!"

When in fact you know she's true. Everything you need out there you need

Cause it's not you"

"I'll let you part of my dream, if I can be part of yours" Bob Dylan said that

"I'll let you part of my dream, if I can be part of your reality"

I said that
