Rough Silk - The Fiddler On The Skeleton Horse Lyrics

I did my very best to get nowhere fast
- lived a life of sin without a chance to win
- commited suicide by ridin´ side by side with the fiddler on the skeleton horse.
I drank my brain away told life to make my day
- used every drug I knew - the ones I didn´t know, too
- jumped outta every plane in vain to share my pain with the fiddler on the skeleton horse !
Fiddler, Fiddler can you hear me ? Fiddler, Fiddler can you see ?
I´m not half the man that I used to be.
With every minute, every hour, every day, every year
I can feel you coming near !

Play your tune for me and I´ll dance to my grave ( fiddler on the skeleton horse )
where it´s cold and calm - where it´s peaceful and safe ( fiddler on the skeleton horse )
and my astral body will be one with the force ( fiddler on the skeleton horse )
when I´m gone with the fiddler on the skeleton horse

But now some fool up above made me fall in love
I met my reason to live and all I want is to give
her all the time that remains and to break free from the chains of the fiddler on the skeleton horse.
Now suddenly I can hear the old fiddler appear
I turn around and he´s there and I think : "this ain´t fair !"
Now that I finally found a home and I´m no longer alone comes the fiddler on the skeleton horse.
Fiddler, Fiddler can you hear me ? Fiddler, Fiddler can´t you see ?
I´m not half the man that I used to be. I ´m beggin´ you please and I hope it´s no crime :
please give me a little more time - then you can

Play your tune for me and I´ll dance to my grave


The fiddler stops playin´ and his voice sounds like a saw
"Normally I don´t make deals, but now I´ll break my own law !
I´ll come back another time but I want something in return :
I´m real tired to ride alone so I want you to learn
to play the fiddle like I do and so shalt your wife
so both of you can join me when you´ve ended your lifes.
So, my friend, see you later and don´t forget to live
and remember the promise you now have to give :

Play your tune for me and I´ll dance to my grave
