Autumn Winds 05:21
lyrics

Cocooning inside, safe & sound In our pedant towns All roller blinds get shuttered down Hearing the wind blow all around Twiddling our thumbs Vegging out weather-bound A smacking breeze is growing stiff Blowing through the trees Lose leaves the winds ripped off Get scattered in the streets There’s a storm on the rise So we’re closing our blinds Locking out what’s behind Out of sight & out of mind The autumn winds & heavy rain Let all the leaves go down Their colours’ drowning in the drain Deadpan & dry right where we are Or pulling a wry face We watch the drama from afar Flotsam & jetsam, not our problem – At least not mine! We see & watch them, doing nothing That’s the bottom line There’s a storm on the rise So we’re closing our blinds Locking out what’s behind Out of sight & out of mind There’s a storm on the rise About to wreak havoc outside Lily-livered we try To pull the wool over our eyes and deny That there’s a storm on the rise Peeking through the chinks We watch them swim then sink and drown While we should be humble Lucky we’ve not yet been blown down… There’s a storm on the rise So we’re closing our blinds Locking out what’s behind Out of sight & out of mind (At least we’re alright!) There’s a storm on the rise About to wreak havoc outside Lily-livered we try To pull the wool over our eyes and deny That there’s a storm on the rise (Take precautions! Shut all your windows & doors!) Yeah, there’s a storm on the rise

Dark Forest Theory 05:53
lyrics

Don’t go too gentle Into that good, good night And keep your eyes in the skies Hide in the shadows Where the dying of the light Lies for your dark disguise Constant vigilance Suspicious silence Angel or demon – oh, you can never know If you’re really alone Are you the hunter Or are you just his prey Unready for the fray? Where’s everybody? – Already stalking game? Already taking aim? Sword of Damocles Anonymous menace If stealth is health, control your breath Don’t make a sound, some might be stalking around This cosmos Is a dark forest Blindly into the abyss We’re groping our way through this emptiness The law of jungle No wherefore & no why Just living & letting die Fairy or demigod If you find other life You’ve gotta open fire Kill or get killed instead Existence is eternal threat Heaven & hell won’t treat you well, for better or worse – A dog-eat-dog universe This cosmos Is a dark forest Blindly into the abyss We’re groping our way through this emptiness This cosmos Is a dark forest Blindly into the abyss We’re groping our way through this emptiness This cosmos It is a dark forest A void & empty abyss The pitch of our play that is merciless We’re awaiting our doom just like Damocles We’re tiny like ants, we are meaningless We’re groping our way through this endlessness

Baby Doll 03:53

I used to walk with you On the Sunshine Avenue There’s been one thing I could do I fell in love with you My baby, my baby, baby doll Yeah, we’ve been from the start On the Sunset Boulevard Like the Bull’s Eye’s hit by darts You crashed into my heart My baby, my baby, baby doll I wished this day would stay But now you’re miles away I wished this day could ever stay But now you’re a million miles away I think, I don’t have to reveal Those feelings that I feel The attraction of your really Vast sex appeal My baby, baby doll I get lost in your eyes Bright like stars in the skies And if you told me lies, then Guess who’s the one who buys them My baby, baby doll I wished this day would stay But now you’re miles away I wished this day could ever stay But now you’re a million miles away I wished this day would stay But now you’re miles away I wished this day could ever stay But now you’re a million miles But now you’re a million miles But now you’re a million miles away

First of all, I've got to say That I love you! You can doubt it, you can trust it – You decide what to do All I know for sure is That my word is true Pls forgive me for these words That are directed to you But I, I am not ripe I'm still a child There is one thing on my mind I have to talk about It could sound a little strange now If I speak it out loud I‘ve been waiting far too long To express my doubts In all those things that you think They will easily work out But I, I am not ripe Yes, I'm still a child Yeah, I‘m still a child You ask me: When will you marry me? When will we start a family? Honey, tell me, when will we…? When will we have a baby? But I, I am not ripe Cos I'm still a child Yeah, I‘m still a child I‘ve got no masterplan Cos I‘m not even half of a man Cos I live from day to day To day... Well, I'm still very immature – What can't be cured must be endured! Come on, lady, that's for sure: You know me & you love me Though slyly deep inside I'm still a child Yeah, I‘m still a child Yeah, I’m still a child Yeah, I’m still a child Still a child

There are so many things that I Wanna do before I die Oh I… oh I… I wanna run a marathon At least a half one – bring it on! I… oh I… Life‘s what you make it Also time & tide don‘t wait Tick off your bucket list Before it is too late I wanna visit Uncle Sam And take a trip to Amsterdam I …oh I… I‘ve never been to India Must be my personal Shangri-La I… oh I… A stitch in time saves nine – Don‘t wait, don‘t hesitate! You‘ve gotta seize today Tomorrow is too late In the end If I look back again I wanna say I‘ve had a life That’s been worth living And in the end Will you be waiting for me, friend? Because I’m dying to See you, I miss you I wanna found a family Build a house & plant an apple tree I… Oh I… Make friends & memories all the while May they remember with a smile I … Oh I… Life’s what you make it – just don’t wait! Life‘s what you make it Also time & tide don‘t wait It is no bucket list Ain‘t that a pleasant trait? So in the end If I look back again I wanna say I‘ve had a life That’s been worth living And in the end I know you’ll wait for me, my friend Because I’m dying too See you, I miss you I’ll see you again…

The Industrial Man 05:08
lyrics

Day after day I’m slavin’ away Cos I am an industrial man A gearwheel’s gotta turn The furnace must burn My only worth’s my work capacity A modern man earns As long as he churns So he has to serve to be free Day after day I’m slavin’ away Cos I am an industrial man Day in & out That’s what life’s about Slavery’s peace & freedom for me From beginning of time The birth of the assembly line And for every single workweek ever since Freedom’s a prime Product paid dime by dime Made of blood, sweat & devoted diligence Day after day I’m slavin’ away Well, I am the industrial man Day in & out That’s what life’s about Slavery’s peace & freedom for me And thus real life Is like a machine Driven by hard toil & gasoline Poor me, what would I be A work- & worthless employee Without a firm hand watching over me? Day after day I’m slavin’ away Well, I am the industrial man Day in & out That’s what I’m about Slavery’s peace & freedom for me Day after day I’m slavin’ away Well, I am the industrial man Day in & out That’s what I’m about Slavery’s peace & freedom for me

Hey There Denier 06:41
lyrics
buy track
God knows I’m no little innocent And certainly no saint Diligent not above average With depraved self-restraint A creature of old habits They die hard inside of me – But how can it be That you still refuse to see? You say scientists were a poor reliance Just a few could read between the lines But despite that, it ain’t rocket science To read the signs of times You demonize & despise This same science politically That led us into Health, wealth & prosperity Heyhey, we’re in a state of death & decay Heyhey, how do you dare to look away? We mustn’t mess with Mother Earth We keep no other in reserve This primate race that’s gone ape-shit Won’t hurt that planet not a bit We are just a bunch of wannabe Godlike & greedy chimpanzees A flyspeck in its history Nature needs no conservation – we Couldn’t more agree to disagree – But your moral hazard is a fucking fallacy! Heyhey, you’re driven by loss anxiety Heyhey, we can’t eat money & luxury Can’t you see it’s contradictory: High life for you & hate for refugees? Cos we’re all in the same old sinking boat So screw you & your devil-may-care attitude And if this should be beyond your confines: Your living standard is no human right If your car’s the phallic symbol for You feeling so inferior I do pity you

Of Ends & Elephants 14:57
lyrics

I. Elders’ LullaLie We, we reached a point of no return Permafrost‘s thawing, rainforests burn We wouldn‘t listen & we wouldn’t learn Our hedonism‘s been our major concern With indifference we’re flipping tipping elements Even though there‘s been chances to change & make amends But we bit off much more than we could chew Now lie in this warm bed that we made for you We jumped the shark Shut your eyes before landing It‘s a leap in the dark But who knows how it’s ending? Good night, sleep tight Good night We jumped the shark Shut your eyes before landing It’s a leap in the dark Who could have known ‘bout its ending? For what it’s worth, my dear We wanted to bring you Heaven on earth But it’s hell we fell into Good night, sleep tight Good night, sleep tight   II. Butterfly & Bee The elephant in the room is dead He died despite good anger management He had hung his head heavy from that idle chit-chat His body’s dangling below with a noose round his neck He’s swinging still when Schrödinger’s Cat Is finally meant to be let out of the bag But as it turns out, she got a bit out of hand And put an end to the experiment We wouldn’t hear And we wouldn’t see We didn’t fear For the butterfly & the bee All animals are divided into two types The 1st class are those who feel divine and divide Like crown of creation they rule over the other The 2nd’s demeaned, doomed to bear & to suffer We wouldn’t hear And we wouldn’t see We didn’t fear For the butterfly & the bee Cos we only care For our bonds to bull & bear And this is why Bee & butterfly Both had to die   III. The Kid’s Speech This is all wrong. How dare you Talk about eternal growth? How do you dare continue Saying that you’re doing enough? For even more than 30 years now The science has been crystal-clear This won’t be solved with ‘business as usual’ And this is why I want you to fear I do not want your hope now No, as a matter of fact I want you to panic And I want you to act Keep talking about your money Tell your economic fairy tales But we young people are starting To understand your act of betrayal We draw the line right here & right now We draw the line to make you stop The world is awaking & change is coming Whether you like it or not We don’t need your hope now No, as a matter of fact We need you to panic And we want you to act Act like your house was on fire Feel the fear we feel every day And if you choose to fail us We will not let you get away We’ll never forgive you IV. The Owl of Minerva When the day is over And twilight comes closing in The Owl of Minerva’s Spreading its wings clandestine When shades of night tightly’ gathering And azure skies fade to grey Eyes wide & wise are awaking, taking Flight to look back over the day When pitch-dark dusk has been falling Deadened the day’s life & light High from above it starts calling & bawling Daylight’s been traded for night In vain & pain it is warningly mourning There ain’t no morning in sight From its tree forlorn & lonely it’s moaning That the day has died

I’ve been standing right here Since the first day I remember And remembrance is what I was raised for A sentence on my socle Sets a Thursday in September Says I took a stand whenever, 404 Now my name, it got forgotten As inscriptions been fading While I’m just standing still Come rain or shine But it turns out that I’m A different shape every time A different person eventually Casts an ›I‹ on me Well, I stay As they Come & go on their way Some may Someday Maybe meet me again I’m not just A statue Instead you See a little bit of yourself Mirrored by me Most don’t mind my immanent memories Rebuild, repaint, rewrite them A monument of a million minds & moans Of comedies, more tragedies That they just leave behind when They incise those scratches in my stone My marble skin is gettin‘ thin Like the pages of a diary My stony bones though bend & bow Don’t break A burden I can‘t abide, I’m weak And broken deep inside, can’t seek A safe haven to hide Cos I am petrified But I stay As they Come & go on their way Some may Someday Maybe meet me again I stand like A statue So that you Can force a little bit of yourself Right onto me Why stay As they Come & go on their way? Some may Someday Mutilate me again And I’m just A statue For you So you do maim my name, my memory My identity My identity You scrape it off me My identity Well, I’ll remain The same but not the same Without a name I’ll stain, it’s all in vain And I’ll remain The same but turn insane My stone will stain I’m slain – oh, what a shame Wind & rain They’ll maim my face & frame Can’t take the pain Restrain once more again The acid rain Will maim my face & frame The stress, the strain The pain, constant refrain…

Leaving This Town 07:27
lyrics

Night-time walks & rooftop talks Smoking cigarettes Gazing at stars & hopping bars Drinking, sinking into bed Remember when I first moved in I wasn’t believin’ That when I’d be leavin’ all this There’d be something I’d miss Framed by tears time did fly by Though it’s been a while Learned to love thy city lights To ease & seize your sleepless nights First glances can be deceiving Cos now that I’m leaving I’m honestly grieving, what bliss I’ve had much more than this Leaving this town I’ve grown fond of, familiar ground To all friends I’ve found I’ve gotta go, I’m homebound It’s been my home, this small city That’s ugly but pretty A pity to leave that behind I miss you already Leaving this town I’ve grown fond of, familiar ground To all dear friends I’ve found Farewell for now, I’m homebound It’s been my home, this small city That’s ugly but pretty A pity to leave that behind I miss you all already Leaving this town I’ve grown fond of, familiar ground See you around So long, my dear, I’m homebound Within constructions of concrete And tarmacadam streets The dead heat of eyesores & grey There’s places, oases to stay You’ve been my home, my sweet city You’re ugly but pretty What pity, that time passed me by But deep inside I’ll stay a GI I’ll always be a bit GI Yes, deep inside I’ll stay a GI GI Leaving this town I gotta go, I’m homebound
