Permanent Vacation Lyrics

Permanent Vacation lyrics

Once I used to read, once I used to think 
now I solve my problems 
by ordering in another drink 
I tasted life with reverence, I used to like myself 
today I´m throwing tomorrow away 
ruin my health 
 
I need a revolution, a permanent solution 
it´s an unbearable temptation 
the permanent vacation 
 
Gotta do more, be more, creating a life 
unfulfilment broken dreams 
cuts me like a knife 
hell it´s just another hangover 
feeding my bitterness 
it´s time to wipe away my tears 
mending my life in the process 
 
I need a revolution, a permanent solution 
it´s an unbearable temptation 
the permanent vacation 
 
You say you´re not sure 
you say you need more time 
I say what are you worrying for 
your wish is the same as mine 
I´m not trying to change your life 
I´m not trying to take control 
though your indecision cuts me like a knife 
I´m not trying to invade your soul 
 
All we really want is to be held 
through the night 
for a moment put aside anger, fear and spite 
ever since we left paradise 
it´s always been our fate 
to dream of making love 
making up, makingh ate 
 
Precious little moments building up to tears 
while we gently put aside our jealousy and fears 
wondering if we found a love that last forever 
deciding she´s to loud, narrow minded or whatever.. 
 
All we really want is to be held 
through the night 
for a moment put aside anger, fear and spite 
ever since we left paradise 
it´s always been our fate 
to dream of making love 
making up, making hate 
 
My friend went away for the weekend 
and he never came back home 
he was found with his fathers gun in his mouth 
and beside him his last poem... 
when I heard the news 
I just drove around in vain 
my head was filled with questions 
anger, guilt and shame 
 
Late one night I couldn´t sleep 
so I turned my memory around 
I saw faces and moves and places we´ve been 
some of that good life we found 
I hear phrases form a dialogue 
and I remember what we said 
the way you brushed your hair form your forhead 
and how you loved to make me mad 
 
Keep thinking about the way you said goodbye 
was it really brave 
I keep thinking about the way you said 
goodbye, was it really brave... 
 
I played a record again and again 
from side to side 
then I put away the best part 
of a bottle of whiskey 
and sat right down and cried 
you were someone I could talk to 
you were someone I could trust 
now you´re six feet under... 
slowly into dust 
 
Keep thinking about the way you said goodbye 
was it really brave 
I keep thinking about the way you said 
goodbye, was it really brave... 
 
It´s been to much, I can´t take it anymore so bye, bye brain 
to many things going on in my mind 
I seek shelter from the pain 
 
My head is spinning 
my eyes are fallen out 
my stomach seems to open and it´s making me shout 
somewhere I´ve lost track of what it´s all about 
 
It´s an amazing sensations 
my permanent vacation 
my body and brain cannot be disturbed 
but sometimes at night my voice 
can still be heard 
still can be heard, laughing in the asylum 
 
There is no permanent solution 
no easy way out of this confusion 
no constant happiness 
but you´ve got to comprehend 
after every storm there lies a rainbows end 
 
The answer is not a permanent vacation 
use your humour and your patience 
no lasting sanity you´ve got to understand 
after every sunset the world lies in your hand...
