Coma (Album Version Explicit) [Explicit] Songtext
von Guns N’ Roses

Hey, you caught me in a coma
And I don′t think I wanna
Ever come back to this world again
Kinda like it in a coma
'Cause no one′s ever gonna
Oh, make me come back to this world again

Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't feel all the pressure and I like it this way
But my body′s callin′, my body's callin′
Won't ya come back to this world again?

Suspended deep in a sea of black
I′ve got the light at the end
I've got the bones on the mast
Well, I′ve gone sailin', I've gone sailin′

I could leave so easily
While friends are calling back to me
I said there, "They′re leaving it all up to me
When all I needed was clarity
And someone to tell me what the fuck is going on"


Goddamn it!

Slippin' farther and farther away
It′s a miracle how long we can stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit

Help me
Okay, let′s get this guy in the program please, we're losing him (start an IV, please)
Help me
Someone′s got to protect his airways (where's the defibrillator?)
Two IV's over here, please. That′s two more now (let′s go)
We'll lose this guy
Help me
Slow-motion here. This guy′s going
Let's get him in ER (it′s going out on us)
Who's got the defibrillator?

Please, understand me
I′m climbin' through the wreckage of all my twisted dreams
But this cheap investigation just can't stifle all my screams
And I′m waitin′ at the crossroads, waiting for you
Waiting for you (where are you?)


No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one′s gonna mess with my head no more
I can't understand what all the fighting′s for
But it's so nice here down off the shore

I wish you could see this ′cause there's nothing to see
It's peaceful here and it′s fine with me
Not like the world where I used to live
I never really wanted to live

I know

Okay, we′re starting to lose this guy. I want that IV and his airway protected
Let's get some people in here
Get the crash cart please, we′re losing this guy
Give me an airway, please (what's going on here?)
Clear
Zap him again
How about an IV, stat?
Okay, you better protect the airway, you′re starting to lose him (clear)
Zap the son of a bitch again

Listen to me, Axl, are you listening to me?
No, don't walk away from me
You are such a fucking prick, I am so pissed with you
All I hear is bullshit, all the time
All you ever wanna do is have sex, sex, sex
I just don′t give a shit anymore

I love you

You live your life like it's a coma, won't you tell me why we′d wanna?
With all the reasons you give, it′s, it's kinda hard to believe
But who am I to tell you that I′ve seen any reason why you should stay
Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway
You got a one way ticket on your last chance ride
Gotta one way ticket to your suicide
Gotta one way ticket and there′s no way out alive

And all this crass communication that has left you in the cold
Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old
But if home is where the heart is, then there′s stories to be told
No, you don't need a doctor, no one else can heal your soul

Got your mind in submission, got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger, they just stepped aside
They be down by the water while you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin′ in the morning, they be hangin′ on the phone
They be waiting for an answer but you know nobody's home
And when the bell′s stopped ringing, it was nobody's fault but your own

There were always ample warnings, there were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin′ but we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why′d your best friend drop a dime?
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting for a way to spend our time

And it's so easy to be social, it's so easy to be cool
Yeah, it′s easy to be hungry when you ain′t got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you with what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting, watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking, know it′s gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories that another man would need
Just to survive
