Sophie Hunger

They said :
"Lady or gentleman
You're either or
It's morning, it's evening
It's once or it's more"
What's that name? Eh, what's that name? What's my name again?

Shadow boxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk
Shadow boxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk

Scribbling aand coughing a line in the winds
So busy with oiling your sandcastle's hinges
What's that name yeah what's that name yeah what's my name again?
Stamp on the ground and ceiling falls in

Shadow boxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk
Shadow boxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk
Shadow boxing, monologue and we clean and we clean and we clean
Shadow boxing, monologue and we dream and we dream and we dream

And we go down to the beggar, to reach for the queen
And it's now and forever, and we are and we seem
And we sculpture a statue to worship and bear
The chaos that's behind the glass of
who and what and who and what we are

"The boat is full" I hear us warning
as we order french champagne
"The boat is full" I hear us yearning
"let`s build a fence against the rain"
"The boat is full" I hear us turning
on a highway made of gold
"The boat is full" we`re so concerned and
pass a law against the cold

There is someone out there breathing
On the top of all our lungs
Do you really think we`re easy
Because of what we`ve done?

If this is full, then what is empty,
Other than our will to live?
It this Is full, then what exactly,
Have we possibly achieved?

So, is this it? Where we begin
they end, they end?
So, is this it? Where we begin,
They end, they end?

You are the answer, you never talk
You have no question, you are a thought
You are the answer, you`re shaped and emblazed
Through the holes in my cover,
you`re something I made
You are the answer, my truthful response
My final saying when everyone`s gone

You`re my illusion, my pattern of wrong
A hollow idol on the tip of my tongue
You`re my disgrace, my self-made war
And I don`t want to remember faith anymore
I`m wasting myself in the name of a fake
You were made for me by mistake

I had nothing before, then I had you
I was denying, now I refuse
I`ve never been young, you`ll never grow old
My life`s In my words and my hands they are cold
I never made sense but now I disturb
I`m bashing my goods against the door of the world

Oh wash away
Oh wash away
You had nothing to say
You were made for me by mistake

Sophie Hunger - Walzer fuer niemand

Niemand kommt rein und setzt sich hin
Den FuB auf' n Tisch, Hand unter' s Kinn
Niemand ist hungrig, mein Fruhstucksmenu
Niemand kommt immer zu fruh

Niemand, ich habe Geschenke fur dich
Was war ich geworden, gab es dich nicht
Meine gesammelten Werke-bitte sehr
Alles gehort dir

Niemand, niemand kennt mich wie du
Unbedingt, ich geb alles zu
Keine Enttauschung, kein einziges Mal
Aber dir ist eh alles egal

Niemand, siehst du's, ich wachse nicht mehr
Meine Hande sind FuBe, Niemand, schau her
Bald bin ich nichts und das, was dann bleibt
Ist deine Wenigkeit

Niemand, was, was willst du?
Immer bist du hier
Niemand, was, was willst du?
Von mir?
Von mir?
Von mir?

In my backyard I grew a statue
Overwhelming and high
And I thought it was a virtue to
Gaze at it inside
Time passed by and so did I

I just woke up in your morning
To find that I'm there too
Suddenly start movin' sayin'
What is it you do?

You're not a star
But you are, you are
And I'm not your fan
But I am, I am

No, you're not a star
But you are, you are
And I'm not your fan
But I am, I am

I'm so glad that you're no legend
That there are two cups on the floor
Please don't talk about heaven
Let's have on the shore

Oh, you're not unbelivable
But you are here
And I'm not unachivable but now I'm here

My brother is a farmer so you ask him what to do
The rain about to harm you, "build a fence" he says to you
So build a fence and wonder while you're slowly sinking in
About the chief commander suggesting you should swim
And that's the very moment when you sto and start to fear:
"It's strange in here"

Now the whole place around you is drowing in a flood
While the military's aiming at the sky that wouldn't stop
My sister is a lawyer so you ask her what to do
Your boy's drowned right before you "let me sue" she says to you
And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear:
"It's strange in here"

Now the whole city's floating gently towards the sea
You're turning to the President "Ah Sir, don't let this be"
He chuckles once and chuckles twice and then begins to shout:
"Lets bring them clouds to justice, track em down and smoke em out"
And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear:
"It's strange in here"

When I was born i felt a tremble in my hand
And in short time it started to expend
It travelled up my arm and settled in my shoulder
From there it filled my chest and scared my heart and took it over
Ever since I'm far from sleep I walk the roads at night and weep:
"Please, please"

Soon after I would shake from head to toe
I left my cardboard house in spite of not knowing where to go
I thought I might find silence if I'd move at such fast pace
So the shaking would sort of discharge somewhere along the race
But the more I walked the more I ran the more things got out of hand
God damn!

Under these circumstances it was hard to find a job
Let alone to touch someone so I'd given up the thought
But then one day I pointed out a figure in the dark
Shaking just as much as me so I offered him my heart
And now guess what happened, there was an earthquake
And the world fell apart

Once she had a dream from which she would awake
She feared that if she'd touch the ground her hand would start to shake
Nothing ever fades away her kingdom knows no time
The kick of any given kick is perfectly designed
And she can pull it out any time (that's a bit like singing)

The city that she's living in never would insist
On anything of everything, it costs her nothing to exist
Freedom, freedom, free - chains are in demand
When there is no necessity in using your own hands
Well, maybe that's the reason why they're shaking

Now you're banging on her door asking her to step outside
"Come on girl, you must awake, go get yoursefl a life!"
After enless minutes she answers finally: "maybe you know who you are
But still you search for me, craving for the miracles of my uncertainty"

"You have so much, I miss so much, but what you miss is what you have", she says
From the outside it's you yelling back: " Oh, don't make me laugh!"
When in fact you know she's true. Everything you need out there you need
"cause it's not you"

"I'll let you be part of my dream, if I can be part of yours" Bob Dylan said that
"I'll let you be part of my dream, if I can be part of your reality"

I said that.

In the backyard you say
Let's have a family
In the frontyard, you know
Oh don't you, away from me
In the papers you saw
I'm as free as free can be
In your footprints, oh
You left no legacy

Round and round and round and round you go
Over you are nobod-nobody knew
Cause round and round and round and round you go
Funny aha
Blow-up and blow-and blow-up and blow-up
A-yeah-ha-i, to run away-ha
Follow and follow and follow i-yeah-yeah, ha-i funny aha
Blow-up and blow-and blow-up and blow-up
A-yeah-ha-i, to run away-ha
Follow and follow and follow i-yeah-yeah, ha-i

In the backyard i saw
I saw the family
In the front yard, i wrote
I wrote on diary
In the papers my notes
I will i will for eternity
Now my footprints, a-oh
You are my legacy

Round and round and round and round you go
Over you are nobod-nobody-no
Cause round and round and round and round you go

You were shot in the head
When i thought i was home
And i keep throwing you up
So i won't feel alone
I still hate you around played it all night
And i wake you make you make you yeah

You were shot in the head
When i thought i was home
And i keep throwing you up
So i won't be alone
I still hate you around played it all nights
And i wake you and make you and brake you again

Oh-ooo-ho-ooo-ho
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ho-oh-ho

Born on top of a cedar
You can't see me
But I see whatever
You are moving

Can't you put up a ladder
Can't you free me?
I'm on top of the cedar
Waving, screaming

Aaaaaaah

Born on top of a cedar
You can't see me
But I feel the shiver
When you are moving

Can't you put up a ladder
Can't you meet me?
I'm not holding a treasure
I'm waving, screaming

Aaaaaaah

Can I wear your gloves before my hands break off?
Can I wear your gloves and then come down?
Can I wear your gloves before my hands break off?
Can I wear your gloves and then calm down?

Born on top of a cedar
I'm watching my breathing
It's been almost forever
Since I've been feeling

I can't touch you however
I can't lean out
Stuck on top of this cedar
That I have brought up

Aaaaaaah

Let them measure out the room
The dimension, the effect
Let them formulate the state
Of each and every bit
Let them price and calculate
What and what is not
Let them choose and demonstrate
What they have and haven’t got

And I say “Oh, woah, I don’t know”
“Oh, woah, I don’t know”

If I could open up my chest
Pour out of myself
And in a corner I should rest
Rain there in the shelf
Then I’d be soaked up
By words of mountaintops
To finally have spoken out
A line that someone dropped

And I say “Oh, woah, I can know”
"Oh, woah, I can know”

xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
Things that I could do
See the pawn has the long way home
Go

Let them measure out the room
The dimension, the effect
Let them formulate the state
Of each and every bit
Let them price and calculate
What and what is not
Let them choose and demonstrate
What they have and haven’t got

And I say “Oh, woah, I don’t know”


Might I then will come right next to you
Without the fear of running after
Might I talk when I’m talking through
Then I'll be faster
I'm just supposed to stand with you
Ask you for my clothes
No more shall I sing for you
But no, but no, but no, no, no, no

xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
Things that I could do
And the pawn had a long way home
'Cause the pawn wouldn't need to know

A burning countryside
Mountains being climbed
We shift and turn and swear and yearn
If only you would mind

A general collision
With all that stands as such
We reinvent, we tear apart
And stitch and stitch and stitch

Marching band`s parading
Perfume floods the streets
Everyone is standing
The crowd inside of me

But all of this yeah, all of this
To you does not exist

And empires rise and empires fall
And empires rise and empires fall
And we engage and we dissolve
For nothing but the change

Z`Vreneli abern Guggisberg
Und z`Hans Jacobeli ??ern Berg
S`isch ???M?sch uf 훣de
S`isch ???M?sch uf 훣de
Wo i m?ht binim sie

In the land with no drainpipes there's a girl
with a flute in her throat
She's only in bloom whispering
by the command of a ghost
She dares not to speak knowing tahat this would unfold
The lack of a voice, genuinely hers all alone

In the land with no drainpipes again
they are switching their seats
A new order to what has bored them enough,
where's the news?

So she, Sophie, buys herself a skeleton
to simply believe
That there once was a shape underneath
our infinite possibilities

Bring her snowstorms
Bring her back to the chain
Bring the dictator
who is now sleeping in vain

In your distant city lights
I tried to read your time at night
I tried to find your roof your floor
The corners of your mind, the four

And I'll return down to the mines
Where you are safe from me
And I will stop to burn your house
and keep you safe from me

The red flags on your dear facade
Wouldn't break the secret to my guards
Told me not with which wind to come
Refused to tell how and when

I'll return down to the mines
Where you are safe from me
And I will stop to burn your house
and keep you safe from me

How could I so clearly find
And have no chance to read your signs
Bring me back to your front door
And me pretend that I waited for

I wish that you would search the mines
And keep them safe from me
I wish that you would stop the fire
And keep it safe from me - will ich will bi Dir sie

School boy heroes a speech in every lip you copy kingdom
Newspaper army that pretends to collect the truth
Dog in a trap and you try to forget why it's whining
While you just decide for your self

Alien neighbor my house doesn't burn if you don't see it
Should I wait for a prophet, for a lesson to learn for the good
Alien neighbor there's ash on your lawn, you were the savior
You would have been at mercy when the winds didn't turn
Around, around
Round, around

Look at it, don't look at it now
Look at it, don't look at it now
Look at it, don't look at it now

Oh, geschter hasch plotzlech nut meh gseh
(Oh, gestern hast du plotzlich nichts mehr gesehen)
Und sithar gseht dich au niemmert meh
(Und seither sieht dich auch niemand mehr)
Oh, geschter isch dr Schpiegel verbroche
(Oh, gestern ist der Spiegel zerbrochen)
Und sithar bricht dis Gsicht usenand
(Und seither bricht dein Gesicht auseinander)

Niemand kommt rein und setzt sich hin
Den Fuβ auf'n Tisch, Hand unter's Kinn
Niemand ist hungrig, mein Fruhstucksmenu
Niemand kommt immer zu fruh
Niemand, ich habe Geschenke fur dich
Was war ich geworden, gab es dich nicht
Meine gesammelten Werke - bitte sehr
Alles gehort dir
Niemand, niemand kennt mich wie du
Unbedingt, ich geb alles zu
Keine Enttauschung, kein einziges Mal
Aber dir ist eh alles egal
Niemand, siehst du's, ich wachse nicht mehr

Today has more than this hour
And the months they have more than tonight
The before and the after
The clapping, the laughter
One hell full of silence and time.

Here they were ringing the bells
And I thought you could keep me from hell
And all that I own from my flesh to my song
Was yours, and yours all alone

Hate me, get out of my sight
Push me away bring up the fight
Don't let me stare, oh don't let me here
Mixing the wrong and the right

uhhh...

Here you are, still in my bed
And I just cant stop turning my head,
And pretend that its real and that it's you that i feel
And nothing has ever been said

So kiss me and kiss me again
Loose it completely I can't be your friend
Then we will know if it's been yours the show
That we made up to get rid of ourselves, choir

uhhh...

Let's pretend today had only this hour
And the months they had only tonight
No before and no after
The clapping, the laughter
Hell sinking way out of sight
Helsinki - running for life.

to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte)




Here you are again and everyone's aware
Even the believers join in to the state
Afraid of insufficiencies they elsewhere must deny
They're shaken by the whispering gleam of what is passing by

Hello. hello Valentine

Here you are again with all what belongs to you
Reigning over dreams that to no one else come true
The weight of such a power would break it all in two
If only you would know - yet you just don't have a clue

Hello, hello Valentine
Secretly they cry

Here you are again and we offer all to you
The longing of the ugly of those who cannot choose
The longing of the strange by differences abused
They turn inside their uniform but wouldn't dare to prove

My lover's in the field
Swinging his shield
Fighting the windmills
That disappear.

My lover's on a mission
Singing in prison
For the lonely ones
The ones constantly missing

My lover's on duty
Sing ing his song
He says: "Where there is beauty,
Wisdom goes wrong"

But this ain't Nashville.
I too miss Nashville, but this ain't Nashville
please come home, please come down

Born on top of a cedar
You can't see me
But I see whatever
You are moving

Can't you put up a ladder
Can't you free me?
I'm on top of the cedar
Waving, screaming

You`re my illusion, my pattern of wrong
A hollow idol on the tip of my tongue
You`re my disgrace, my self-made war
And I don`t want to remember faith anymore
I`m wasting myself in the name of a fake
You were made for me by mistake

I had nothing before, then I had you

I`ve never been young, you`ll never grow old
My life`s In my words and my hands they are cold
I never made sense but now I disturb
I`m bashing my goods against the door of the world

Oh wash away
Oh wash away
You had nothing to say
You were made for me by mistake

Upstairs they have begun to sweep
The floors and night begins to speak of
Possibilities
Silence, promises
Cities full of story lines
Do I have to sing those rhymes
Possibilities
Broken promises

Take away your easy jokes
And leave me with the monkeys
I know every place to go but
Will not go for pennies

Talk to me on every screen
Someone's always calling me
Is this a movie scene
A moving movie scene?
My back is turned against the car
I drop my keys and kiss the floor
Countless are the roads from here
But my heart is nowhere

Take away your easy jokes
And leave me with the monkeys
I know every place to go but
Will not go for pennies

My heart
My heart
My heart
Is nowhere
Is nowhere
Is nowhere
Is nowhere

I took your door bell and rang up the city
I rolled your fags. And it made me feel pretty
One gun held against my shoe
And the other one pointing at you

Refrain:
You were all so very lovely,
My hands were in the air
Fell in love right in the beginning
I swear, I swear, I swear

Good god. As if they were empty
I filled up my pockets, until I had plenty
Plenty of things belonging to you
Your schools, your fools, your blues

Refrain:
You were all so very lovely,
My hands were in the air
Fell in love right in the beginning
I swear, I swear, I swear

I collected the ghosts that would sleep in your hair and I stole all the words they hung into the air
And with them I shaped a pen and a chair, in which I sit, sing and scribble.
I composed a dog barking in vain, and with it the silence behind its complaints
And with that the highways that take things away, and then discovered that there are no endings
And now that I am so completely of you, I do not understand what I do

Dear all, I am full of your blood,
Full of your absence,
Full of your love,
Full of your words
That will tear me apart,
Apart from everything

In mid-air blinding the shades
The sun appears and I get carried away
That was it my truthful account of what it's about

Guten Morgen 1983
Wo sind deine Kinder?
Ich bin zu Dir zuruckgekehrt
Nur kurz noch nicht fur immer
1983 zeig mir deine Finger
Und frag nach deinem Abdruck

1983 wo sind deine Stimmen
Wo sind deine Ausnahmen deine Mongoloiden
Wo sind deine Dichter deine Zweifel deine Maden
Was hat es gekostet immer besser zu leben?

Bitte sing mir ein Volkslied x3
Auch wenn es das nicht mehr gibt

Ich hab olige Hande und Ol in meinem Bauch
Weissgemalte Wande weissgemalter Staub
Meine Augen sind aus Glas und ich sehe immer scharfer
Aus meinem Mund stromt Gas und ich werde immer warmer
Ich kratze meine Decke nach dem Wetter ich will frieren
Ich leg mich in den Keller zu den ausgestorbenen Tieren
Ich leg mich in den Kuhlschrank dort liegt noch etwas Eis
Dann ruf ich deinen Namen
Es ist mein kleines bisschen Wahrheit

Wenn dann der Regen doch kommt
Und all dein Erfolg war umsonst
Und all dein Zeug fließt davon
Ja dann hor gut hin x2
Dann singe ich dir ein Volkslied x3
Weil das alles ist was ich hab

Komm bitte sing mir ein Volkslied x3
Weil das alles ist was ich hab

1983
Alles muss weg
Alles muss sterben
Es ist nie zu spat neu geboren zu werden

You told your tales with pictures
I tried to make it seem good
I borrowed the heart of a preacher
And believed as hard as I could

You don't know how much I worked there
You don't know the risk I took
You hardly, hardly saw me
Behind the mirror round my neck

Caught in your Headlights
I had to close my eyes
Caught in your Headlights
I had so little time
Caught in your Headlights
I couldn't turn back
I was never myself
I was you
I forgot

You sold your smiles untroubled
Your light was on every face
You were too young to know that it mattered
That every time someone must pay

I bought your every word then
I didn't have my side
I was too old to learn my first lesson
So I dance with tied hands in mind

Caught in your Headlights
I had to close my eyes
Caught in your Headlights
I had so little time
Caught in your Headlights
I couldn't turn back
I was never myself
I was you
I forgot

In Berlin there is a project
Waiting holding
wearing apole and
tucked and disposed

And i wish there were two little dogs on the logs
So I could play with each other

The question comes to my head
Is should I watch Monty Python like the memory of the dead
Millions and trillions who have never had any time

When a dream comes up empty
When I move I'm taught
When a think of a girl in the world
And no she won't be enough

And the prophet next door
Set the stone in your hand
Holding your hand
And I do understand
And I don't understand
I just wish I could
Stand in the middle
Of a mountain

City lights forever

And now if there is God
And if there is not
Still I find myself hoping and pleading a lot
And then seeing Madonna showing her spots
I take a bow to the women in veils

When a dream comes up empty
When I move I am taught
When I think of a boy in the world
And no, he won't be enough

Citylights, Citylights
Citylights forever

Ci Ci Ci Ci City lights
my City forever

Your personal religion
Your enthusiastic expression
Your daring clothes, your overdose
Your intimate songs
Your broken vows, your divorces
Your forced sexual discourses
Your tight jeans, your sun cream spirituality

It doesn't speak, doesn't speak

Your anti-depressant breakfast table
Your MTV porn feeding the children
How did your dad think you're worth the war?
Your clever quotes on independence
Your independent of loneliness
Your massive, massive lack of self control

It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me
It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me

Yeah,
You're taking care of your body
You're taking care of your soul
You're psycho, your psychoanalysis
Your T-shirt says punk, you're so rock and roll
You do whatever you want, oh I know I know
You're individual, individual-al-al vomit

It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me
It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me

With the sound of my city
With the blowing of the wind
And the silence of our children sleeping
Have I come to understand
With the pushing of the rivers
With the falling of the rain
With the dusting way it's drifting
I will sing and sing again

It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die, oh no
It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die

It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die, oh no
It's never gonna die, it's never never gonna die

Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goute
Des meandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien la
Le vent nous portera

Ton message a la Grande Ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
Un instantane de velours
Meme s'il ne sert a rien va
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaitra mais
Le vent nous portera

La caresse et la mitraille
Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera

Genetique en bandouillere
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphere
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant dis ?
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaitra mais
Le vent nous portera


Ce parfum de nos annees mortes
Ce qui peut frapper a ta porte
Infinite de destins
On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?
Le vent l'emportera

Pendant que la maree monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmene au creux de mon ombre
Des poussieres de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaitra mais
Le vent nous portera

Call back the cards now and
Lay down the pen
Take off your glasses
And unpack your things
Feel with your thumbs the
Edge of your chin and
Hold your hands up again

I lower my head now I
Halt and I stand
i follow the lines in
The palm of my hand
Feel with my thumbs the
Dust on my skin and
No, I will not dream again

I'm ready now, I'm going now
Nowhere
Don't take me out, I'm breaking out
In air
I'm ready now, I'm going now
Nowhere

Bring me some water and
Don't bring me wine
Turn off the movie
Let it be time
Destroy all the airplanes I'll
Sleep on the floor
We must dream no more

I'm ready now, I'm going now
Nowhere
Don't take me out, I'm breaking out
In air
I kill the fire, I'll close the doors
And I watch you
No more

I left the stage without encore
Walking back was through the door
Had I come to give you more
I'm not quite sure what this is for
Ho, ho, ho
On the threshold I would break
Away for you to name the case
Are you bored with what you do
Am I just entertaining you
Ho, ho, ho

Give me a second time from afar
I am no experiment
Give me a second time from afar
I could be your empire

In every look of yours there's depth
Is it for me or for the rest
It is love that makes you soft
Or whatever day you're shaking off
In every word of yours there's hope
Are you fighting for my vote
Or is it your romantic side
That cannot just stay unsatisfied

Give me a second time from afar
I am no experiment
Give me a second time from afar
I could be your empire

It's way over my head, it's over
It's way over my head, it's done

Every time you're out the door
You wave goodbye
You're back for more
You'll never get out
You'll never get out

Every time I loose my shoes
I cut my feet I think of you
You'll never get out

In between my fingers
You're the hole inside my head

When I step out on the street
All the papers speak to me
Telling me about the truth on pages
Fish are dying out again
Michael Jackson had a friend
I should not forget to spend my wages

That's how everybody knows what everybody knows about
Everybody are the bodes that we all know about

Where are all the people at
Someone's paying for the fare
Why hasn't it exploded yet
Invisible
Where are all the people at
Someone's paying for the fare
Why hasn't it exploded yet
It's Invisible

Obama: Showbiz
Jesus: Showbiz
Art: Showbiz
Democracy: Showbiz
Sex: Showbiz
Iraq: Showbiz
Memories: Showbiz
Sophie Hunger: Showbiz

I don't know what it is that it is behind the curtain
There is something out there burning and is unspoken

Where are all the people at
Someone's paying for the fare
Why hasn't it exploded yet
Invisible
Where are all the people at
Someone's paying for the fare
Why hasn't it exploded yet
Invisible
Where are all the people at
Someone's paying for the fare
Why hasn't it exploded yet
Invisible
Where are all the people at
Someone's paying for the fare
Why hasn't it exploded yet
It's Invisible

Somewhere in the Hindukush
Lives the greatest poet
Scribbling signs into to the dust
We would never know it

There were mountains to begin with
Silence shaped in giant
My voice would reach the highest
But you cannot tell this in English

An old man's precise and attentive
My mother's tongue my heart only sounds
As a girl I got lost in a cloud
But you cannot tell this in English

I balance an egg and a spoon
I'm never on time, it's too late or too soon
In the night there is always the moon
That doesn't speak in English

My love, I cannot
Feel my teeth
I cannot feel my feet

We're driving forever now
Why did we leave and how? 2x

Always hungry
And the whistle blows
And it's blindly running
And everybody knows
It should be stopping
And we should get off
And it will collide but
We're all tied up

Now don't be scared
Of what I say
It won't carry things away

Our words echo on the rails
Where all of our days are made 2x

Rise your voices
With no hesitation
The metals are motion
Without a trembling
That lights your thoughts
With anticipation
The stations asleep
Without a dream

And while we're
Passing
The towns are
Passing
And while we're
Passing
The homes are
Passing
And while we're
Passing
Time is
Passing
