The Residents - Gingerbread Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Run, run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the ginger bread man
You can look, look as hard as you can you can't see me I'm the ginger bread man
Or the family of man but never mind me I'm just a ginger bread man

[Verse 1: The Weaver]
Only hours away could be a man with a million dollars
Only minutes away could be a guy with a gun
Only seconds away could be a love that will last forever
But if it gets away there might not ever be one

[Verse 2: The Dying Oilman]
I could be good maybe I'm crazy
I could be good maybe I'm mad
I could be good don't get in my way
Because I could be good but I'm bad

[Verse 3: The Sold Out Artist]
Out in the streets
And under the sun
I kissed his feet
And loaded his gun
Sooner or later
Everyone does
Everybody feeds the fat boy
Everybody feeds the fat boy

[Verse 4: The Aging Musician]
Once upon a time I played electric guitar
And they said I was a rock & roll star
Now no body calls me on the telephone
So I sit and watch my tv all alone
Maybe if I put a bullet in my brain
They’d remember me like Kurt Cobain
And the parasites on MTV
Would wipe their eyes and act like they knew me
But I wouldn't be a hero I'd be dead
Just a corpse beside a note that read
If you like to pretend that you'll never get old
You got what it takes to rock n' roll

[Verse 5: The Old Woman]
Angel answer my prayers
Answer my prayers tonight
Tell me if anyone cares
If I do what I might
Angel answer my prayers
And tell me if any one else
Knows how much I am scared
That I might murder myself
