I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for, what has it got for me
The others say we're hiding, it's as forward as can be
Some things I do for money, some things I do for free

 

 

Lies are smeared across my face. They say it's a common place but you see through me and I see through you. 

Dirt runs through this place, it's all across your face. I'm shot full of holes and so are you. Run away or stay, it's all the same. All of these bones they all get stacked so high. Cut it off, time is out, just come and take your place.

So who the fuck are we? Just the boys in this city, it's all been done before and we do it again. 

                                      So we'll see you later, you alligators.                                         

               We'll be back I'm sure next week and sit in the bar, you know?So goodbye bye, we'll try never to die,
 but we are so young we don't understand if we cannot fly.               

                               So we're here now, we will be gone soon,                                                                           

                                          but not today, not tomorrow, not the next tune.                

Losing the star without a sky, losing the reasons why. You're losing the calling that you've been faking and I'm not kidding;
it's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do, be true because they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo. 
Oh hidy what you're trying to prove, by hiding you're not worth a thing. Sew your fortunes on a string and hold them up to light, blue smoke will take a very violent flight. And you will be changed and everything. And you will be in a very sad sad zoo. I once was lost but now i'm found, was blind but now I see you. How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming.

...mir doch egal.

 

 

And as your body drifted in I sat and told you everything about how I climbed on everything that they used to tear us on down. All of the air we breathed just helped me choke a little more down. Now this is where we are, the sky is spinning around and we'll grind our teeth from the sound. We'll watch the spectators drown while I dig through the bones of all this and find all the things our heads missed and strap them across my scraped fists like using a crane to scratch an itch. One that never goes away. And all of the world will drink as the clouds come pouring on down.
But we'll dream of distant things while they strap our legs to ground.

Because this is where we are.
