I've been trying to shape up
Shape up and raise hell But it's so hard to wake up 'Cause baby, I ain't well This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight Chorus: I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off I've been trying to catch up Catch up with the fuzz But it's so hard to wake up And even catch the buss Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes And though my words could save the world, they never come out right This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light Chorus I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off Only cowards need help to get by Only cowards need friends to survive 2x This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight Chorus I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off |

We Might Fall Apart
There's something strange about the way the tap-water tastes Making speeches for the walls gets harder with every phrase I woke up and everyone had gone I woke up when the sun was setting I woke up and you were gone away On any given day We might fall apart, We might fall apart On any minute now We might fall apart, Just like a house of cards There's something strange about the way the horizon glows We'll lie down on the road and the cars drive inches from our toes I woke up and everyone had gone I woke up when the sun was setting I woke up and you were gone away Maybe it's the chloroform kicking in, the chloroform is kicking in or maybe we've given in On any given day We might fall apart, We might fall apart On any minute now We might fall apart, Just like a house of cards |

I can not sleep,
while you hide in the skins of saints and virgins Cunningly, you've again betrayed us all Oh I know, my time is wasted by this hatred Oh I know, this grudge will suck me dry But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery One graceful day you'll set me free Won't you drop dead? You won't fool me with your same old lies Won't you drop dead? ‘Cause I have seen what's behind those eyes Oh Casanova Won't you drop dead? Oh Casanova I can not wait for you people to bring down your statues Liberate me and please come clean But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery One graceful day you'll set me free You've again betrayed us all Now you're bound to fall But maybe I'll come and put you out of your misery One graceful day I'll set you free |

Spitting teeth you know you've won
Just another punch and you'll be detonated You never learned to back up and run Just another push and you'll be dislocated Mastering the art of self-deceit Planting the apple seeds For you we own this song The saddest of them all My own Human Cannonball For you we own this song Cause we know where you fall My own Human Cannonball Blessed are the silent and the meek Another sound and they will knock you over Don't ever show that you are weak Just another round so they don't know you're broken With the rope around your neck You're dancing trough the air With the ropes around your feet As proud as you could ever be |

Dead beat, shoving stuff into our shopping carts
But we don't know the credit-card's corner's cut Empty our pockets down the same drain the paper-bills originally came from Save me from basements and rooftops Oh help me, I was buried under parking lots Take a look into my eyes now Take a look into the eyes of a ghost Reach out for my hands now Reach out for the hands of a ghost Dead meat, we're a shareholder's dream of little babies with price tags on their foreheads Gently hold my wrist and feel my pulse slowly fading to the background music Save me from basements and rooftops Oh help me, I was buried under parking lots Take a look into my eyes now Take a look into the eyes of a ghost Reach out for my hands now Reach out for the hands of a ghost Slept on the sidewalk I've never felt so cold Slept on the sidewalk I've never felt so cold I'll come back for what I've left I pay back a lifetime theft I'll come back for what is mine This life was just one out of nine Take a look into my eyes now Take a look into the eyes of a ghost Reach out for my hands now Reach out for the hands of a ghost The eyes of a ghost I'll come back for what is mine This life was just one out of nine |

We need a screaming headline
We need a hook for the storyline, Honey I never thought it could go so wrong But I was young and I needed the money I didn't recognize you with your clothes on Honey, put your clothes on 1,2,3,4, Can you hear the seductive sirens? Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Can you hear the atonal anthem? Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Turn up your radio Hear the call of black euro Can you hear the atonal anthem? Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo They're sketching a monster In the back of the limousine Another cross for us to bear Light it up with kerosene I didn't recognize you with your mask off Oh, take your mask off 1,2,3,4, Oh holy labour, hold me close You give me everything I'm on my knees every time I hear your voice You give me everything Everything |

Here I lay in a crashed car
No-one knows when I've left Here I lay, staring at stars But I know they're just satellites The first aid kit 2x It's useless It's too late It offers no help I heard the sound of the sirens Long gone in the distance a sweet sonnet And I have seen no guardian angels Well, I have my doubts if they even care Take me to the hospital Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding Take me to the hospital Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding Snow falls through the windshield I guess this time my fate is sealed Here I'll lay forever They'll find me under the autumn leaves The first aid kit 2x It's useless It's too late It offers no help Take me to the hospital Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding Take me to the hospital Drive fast 'cause I am bleeding |

A time to raid
A time to conquer The busses without passengers Push it in, Pin-cushion queen Bleed red like no-one's ever seen Now give it every single drop This one goes for the fresh new blood, yeah This one's not for the faint at heart, yeah Another day, another new found lost soul Another day, the fresh new blood still runs strong Steer the wheel blindfolded Following the compass nail This road goes where you want it to go This is the time you're in control Now give it everything you've got Sew up the seams Stitches made with stable hands Hold up and let you sleep Sew up the seams Stitches made with shaky hands Hold up until they bleed A time to raid A time to conquer The trains without passengers Push it in, Pin-cushion queen Bleed red like no-one's ever seen Give it everything you've got Give it every single drop |

I forgot to call
The matches need to dry We need batteries for flashlights We're waiting by the phone Sharpening the knives Make sure you lit the fuse right Don't wait up, don't waste your time Don't hold up on a dead phone line Just make sure you lit the fuse right Blow up the world See if I care Leave us to burn See if I care Blow up the world, leave us to burn Make it a mess, I couldn't care less Blow up the world See if I care I forgot to say The world might end today We can go and kick the streetlights I'm all out of faith A reason to sleep late Make sure you lit the fuse right Don't wait up, don't waste your breath Don't make up, there's no time left Just make sure you lit the fuse right Don't waste the wine When the sparks turn into flames We all be passed out We pass out We pass out Don't waste your time When the coffin's sealed with nails We'll all be passed out We pass out We pass out |

I want to take you to my hotel-room
And show you my collection of stolen silver-spoons I want explosions every single day Just give me a minute and I'll be already on my way I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes I'm going to shake off the dust of this town So long, my sisters We'll never see again We'll never kiss again So long my brothers We'll never see again We'll never meet again I want to shove you into my suitcase Put you in to the back of my car with no license plates I want to take you where the wind only goes Say goodbye to the strangling ties and cardboard souls I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes I'm going to shake off the dust of this town So long, my sisters We'll never see again We'll never kiss again So long my brothers We'll never see again We'll never meet again So long, my sisters, So long my brothers Au revoir, all sons and daughters So long, my sisters, So long my brothers Au revoir, all sons and daughters We are going to shake the dust off our shoes We're going to shake off the dust of this town |

They took our bodies
Now we gave our souls They bought our minds And now we're broke The air makes my skin turn pale But I can feel you on the Richter-scale The revolution, Well it makes me yawn There's only the darkness When you are gone Don't ever go You'll have to promise me You're the only thing that's ever meant something for me Don't ever go You are the dawn for me I'm a mess but at least I'm yours to keep You are the dawn The economists rant and drool But all fortune I really need is you All the dress codes really make me yawn There's only the darkness When you are gone The city always sleeps Light has abandoned these pitch black streets The city always sleeps You have abandoned these pitch black streets |

Just one more round
And we're out of this place Wish us the best of luck We'll leave without a trace There's a saying: Dead or alive I heard them saying: Dead or alive And then I nearly slept on the wheel But your love kept me awake And then I nearly blew all away But your love kept me sane Roll the windows down Get the smoke out of our clothes The fog has gathered over the road Just like a ghost And then I nearly slept on the wheel But your love kept me awake And then I nearly blew all away But your love kept me sane |
