The Sisyphean dreamer My fibula and femur Hold the weight of the world (Over and over) I think, therefore I die Anxiety and I rolling down a mountain (Over and over) My shoulder holds the weight of the world Yeah, the wind is blowing Volcano's blowing, my lungs are blowing (Over and over) Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid With the no sign of a grave (Over and over) (Over and over) Hollow body One deli perfetti Move like a son of porcini (Over and over) The rock 'n' roller, the young and older Rolling back to the stroller (Over and over) And although you've warned me The gods have all scorned me now The wind is blowing Volcano's blowing, my lungs are blowing (Over and over) Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid With the no sign of a grave (Over and over) (Over and over) (Over and over) And I'm punished for the passion Only telling 'cause you're asking And am I gutting for the tasking? And the love is all drowning And they're never gonna find 'em 'Cause the eagle's gonna blind 'em (Over and over) Yeah, my shoulder on a boulder Holds the weight of the world Oh, the wind is blowing Volcano's blowing, my lungs are blowing (Over and over) Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid With the no sign of a grave (Over and over) My shoulder holds the weight of the world (Over and over) (Over and over) The Sisyphean dreamer My fibula and femur Hold the weight of the world (Over and over) I think, therefore I die Anxiety and I rolling down a mountain (Over and over) (Over and over) And although you've warned me The gods have all scorned me now
