The Ruse Songtext
von Buffalo Clover

I started nowhere, ended up back there
I caught a fever, and it burned up my blood
That was a pity, I left the city
I did me some travellin′, but it's done me no good

And all I′ve done is startin' to worry me
The pain in my heart, it just won't let me be

So maladjusted, I nearly busted
I made my way back to the south of Toulouse
I searched for your face there, but I found it nowhere
Just my dark reflection in a dim-lit room

Now that you′re gone, nothing′s familiar to me
The pain in my heart, it just won't let me be (sleep)


I came down in a burning crash
Because I took too much to keep me up
Now all I see is a liar in everyone

Up in the north-west, I walked by a protest
The people there were shouting and I got confused
I was arrested, I was a-tested
I shoulda known all along that it was all just a ruse

All I know is that shadow is following me
The pain in my heart, it just won′t, no, it just won't let me be
Yeah!

Oh, no
Oh, no
Yeah!
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
