Your baby's falling, you know I'm talking now
You know I'm dancing, you know I'm racing 'round
You know you're so juiced, you said you kicked the booze
You know I'll get boomed, you know that I'm just a boy
You know I'm dancing, you know I'm racing 'round
You know you're so juiced, you said you kicked the booze
You know I'll get boomed, you know that I'm just a boy
Come back baby, don't you cry
Don't you drain those big blue eyes
I've been crawling
Come back, baby, don't you cry
Just you say the reason why
I can calm you
Don't you drain those big blue eyes
I've been crawling
Come back, baby, don't you cry
Just you say the reason why
I can calm you
You say I'm bawling, I say I'm begging while
You take my photo, I fake my breaking smile
I'm fuckin' loco, I can't get through to you
You turn your nose, you spark up, and I can go
You take my photo, I fake my breaking smile
I'm fuckin' loco, I can't get through to you
You turn your nose, you spark up, and I can go
Come back, baby, don't you cry
Don't you drain those big blue eyes
I've been crawling
Come back, baby, don't you cry
Just you say the reason why
I can calm you
Don't you drain those big blue eyes
I've been crawling
Come back, baby, don't you cry
Just you say the reason why
I can calm you
Come back, baby, make me (cry)
Come back, baby, make me (cry)
Come back, baby, make me (cry)
Das nach außen hin leicht und harmonisch klingende Lied thema tisiert das Aufwachsen von Kindern drogenabhängiger Eltern, die vergeblich versuchen, ein kindgerechtes Umfeld zu schaffen. Jeder Versuch, eine stabile und stimmige Lebensrealität herzustel len, mündet in einem skurrilen Fehlschlag. Das Musikvideo übersetzt diese Ambivalenz visuell: Zwei Kinder bewegen sich in einer leeren, künstlichen Welt aus klischeehaften Farben und kindlichen Objekten. Innerhalb dieser für sie geschaffenen Welt fehlt ihnen die Fähigkeit zu kindlichem Verhalten – sie tragen bereits Verantwortung für ihre Eltern und spiegeln deren Süchte und Überforderung wider.
