lyrics

Walter & Lilo
I said, listen up, people I´m gonna tell you a story
But the story anin´t gonna end up well
About a promising man with his heart in the right place
That´s the story of how Walter fell

He always tried to get everything right
Unfortunately he always aimed a tad too high
The post war promises hangin´ so rife –
And now he claimed his slice oft he good life

Don´t you be surprised by what you´ll find
Intention´s good – but the life it ain´t always kind
Oh Walter, won´t you leave that mill
Tryin´ to please `em though you never will
Won´t you just make up your own mind

In a world reassembling she was a ray of light
With a smile like a remedy
He considered himself lucky when he caught her attention –
He tried everthing to keep up

Let´s leave our own damn families behind
Let´s start from scratch and make our own time, yeah

Don´t you be surprised by what you´ll find
Intention´s good – but the life it ain´t always kind
Oh Walter, won´t you hone your skills
Makin´ money just to keep her thrilled
`Cos her beauty won´t pay no bills

And noone knew what Walter tried to do when he tried to make the black cloud move
And noone knew what Walter was going through when his demons finally won
And noone knew what hurt him through and through and he couldn´t shake it loose
And noone knew where Walter tried to move when his needle left the groove
He fell for Lilo – she kept expecting more
So he made his exit right off the third floor
And noone told me straight what was going on
But nine year olds know when something is wrong
Don´t you be surprised by what you´ll find
Intention´s good – life ain´t always kind
I could tell just by the way you looked
The way you made sure that your story stuck
Oh no
Oh no, no, no
