lyrics

Broke the glass

In a jersey, in a room, I am sitting on the bed,
on the floor inside a bottle, there's a message,
a message for me..
but you said don't break.. the glass.

In my sandals, on a sunday, I am sitting on the porch,
in a bottle in my hand, there is a message,
a message for me..
but you said don't break.. the glass.

          Don't play riddles with me boy.
          There's no use in testing,
          and I don't have a lesson to learn...

with some wire in my hand, I try to fish it out
but now I'm furious, it's glued
to stay inside..
but you said don't break.. the glass.

          Don't play riddles with me boy.
          There's no use in testing,
          and I don't have a lesson to learn...

Well I had, to get it out, just get it out,
and so I did.. c'os I was curious
-you needn't even know..
oooops, I dropped.. the glass.

          Don't play riddles with me boy.
          There's no use in testing,
          and I don't have a lesson to learn...

And now it's folded in my hand,
I open up, and look to see
-and I´m expecting something nice - or something sweet..

           It said "I know you - now I've showed you
           how I told you all the time..
           I know you better - than you think you know yourself.
           and I knew.. you´d break.. the glass."
