Lyrics

WALTZ OF THE GRIND OF THE GEARS
Words and Music by Andrea Wittgens (2002)

We talk on and on about the weather
There?s been rain for days
But things are surely getting better
So they say
When the sky comes tumbling down
There?ll be those who say ?well I told you so?
But I?m blind to signs prefer to be surprised when all of hell starts to blow

And the grind of these gears
Could wipe the smile off the virgin for the next thousand years
And they?re flocking in masses crying end?s drawing near
But you, oh you, break open my heart

Waiting for the unexpected
I?ve got some time to kill
No one wants to leave the road hear untouched
Most of us can walk along
Content to sing someone else?s song
But the thrill is gone those tired words are wrong and not a kind face around

And the grind of these gears
Could wipe the smile off the virgin for the next thousand years
And they?re flocking in masses crying end?s drawing near
But you, oh you, break open my heart

Instrumental solo

I bet you keep the sunrise waiting the whole night through
And the sunset never misses your cue
I?ve got to come alive
Don?t want to be so heartbreakingly sane
You asked what you got I said I rather not but grabbed the wheel anyway

And the grind of these gears
Could wipe the smile off the virgin for the next thousand years
And they?re flocking in masses crying end?s drawing near
But you, oh you, break open my heart
