suburban malls

prepare to go
run honey time is short
in this outsized superstore
run my honey to get more
run honey time is short
in this outsized superstore
ain't that funny i want more
that will make me smile
running for alittle while
what a grabby style
the trolley's filled
with a bunch of trash
no things we need
but a daring deed
i fill the big black bag
while you distract the guard
oh it's just as simple as that
(oh well honey) time to start
run honey doublequick
they want money we need kick
yeah hopefully nothing's in our way
run honey time is short
in this outsized superstore
ain't that funny i want more
oh yeah that makes us smile
running for a little while a little while
oh that makes us cry
you and i may end someday like

this monday morning i don't
stand up 'cause i'm ill
and i won't try it 'cause i
neither have the will - will
i hope you understand i
asked my chief but he says:
"hmm...with this attitude you
won't get far in this biz"
well now things become clear

no more time i will waste
it's freedom's good taste
come on over here
do a little dance, hey
say hello to me my friends
i'm back - i'm back again
yesterday i met a
really good old class mate
and my girl said before i left
"don't come home too late!"
well i got back at daybreak
she was awake
and quite upset she said:
"i said you shouldn't..."
blah blah
well now things become clear
it has to stop here
no more time i will waste
it's freedom's good taste
come on over here
do a little dance, hey
say hello to me my friends
i'm back - i'm back again
and now things are quite clear
it has to stop here
no more time i will waste
it's freedom's good taste
come on over here
do a little dance, hey
say hello to life my friends
i'm back - i'm back again

How Long
03:29
|
|||
there is nothing but an emptiness
a blank sheet is more filled than this
don't know what - don't know where to seek
since days. since weeks.
all the words written umpteen times
all my thoughts have been taught to rhyme
there's a hole in between my ears
for 6 days? 6 weeks? 6 years?
how long
will this whole mess go on
will it swallow up
my head
like a vortex sucks a pup
shut up
a good word fills a sheet but not
this black hole right here since years
it wipes away all my ideas
how long
will this black hole grow on
will it swallow up
my head
like a vortex sucks a pup
how long
will this whole mess go on
will it swallow up
my head
like a vortex sucks a pup
how long

At Least
02:36
|

i woke up this morning
feeling really sad
i thought i've lost the most
important thing i had
something is not right today
but i don't know what to say
do you remember when
this day comes to an end
i'm sitting on the bed
your hand is holding mine
i softly touch your head
there's something left i need to say
but maybe not today
do you remember when i said for the last time
at least i think that i have said it sometime
do you remember when i said for the last time
at least i think that i have said it sometime
do you remember when i said for the last time
at least i think that i have said it sometime
do you remember when i said for the last time
at least i think that i have said it sometime

Ordinary
02:36
|
|||
i want to be world's desire
and i want to get higher
to spit down from the top
a wet kiss to the mob
right now i'm on my way
you know as once cassius clay
no hit could be too hard
uh...sounds like a frat
that is not what i want
what i want i don't get
feels like a headache without a head
what i want i don't get
this is normal i hate that
i hate that
i am too old today
to die with 27
and if god has his way
i've got my place in heaven
oh man i'm fucking normal
sound like any doorbeel
i guess i'm just another ordinary guy
and this not what i want
what i want i don't get
feels like a headache without a head
what i want i don't get
this is normal i hate that
oh i hate that
i hate that
i hate that
but an ordinary life is still
better than a bad
what i want i don't get
feels like a headache without a head
what i want i don't get
this is normal i hate that
oh i hate that

I'm Glad
01:24
|
|||
i'm a bird brain yes a bird brain
(oh yes you are)
i don't care 'bout that
my short term memory makes me feel alright
out of sight out of mind
i'm flying against the window
hit my head - stumble back.
forget all that has happened in the past six seconds
but i'm glad
yes i'm glad
really glad
oh so glad
oh yes i'm glad
and then i'm sad
(oh yes so sad)
i don't care 'bout that
my short term memory makes me feel quite fine
every minute all the time
i'm flying against the window
hit my head - stumble back.
forget all that has happened in the past six seconds
but i'm glad!
i'm so glad
yes i'm glad
oh so glad
to forget all that

Sometimes
01:23
|
|||
sometimes i'm dumb
sometimes deaf
and if the world around breaks down
i'm quite save in my small shell
lovely shell
sometimes i'm blind
on the wrong side
and even if my feet get wet
i'm still save in my sweet shell

this ain't nothing new for you i guess well
why not mark it as our first success hey
welcome folks to chapter one
we're all the same like everyone
don't question yet my point of view
let's get down to chapter two
my papers had been stolen but i won't fuss why
should i? i don't pay when i take the bus
the online news about katrina and belfast
make me feel sad as well as the summer ist past
welcome to chapter two
this world is bad and so are you
the lesson's finished you agree
time to open chapter three
this chapter neither shows how to live
nor even will it give
an answer or some kind of hint
or is simply out of print
...
welcome folks to chapter four
stomp your feet on the floor
there's nothing left that we can do
welcome
oh
no chance to live a better life
no way to change the things we do
now you can question that point of view, ha
welcome to chapter five
welcome to four
welcome to three welcome to two

She's Stoned
03:43
|
|||
she's stoned. she'S lying on the floor
dead and cold. no laughter no more
is this a dream or reality
please wake up
stand up.
these games i hate a lot
now you're better standing up
please wake up
you had never passed the line
where morbid dream and life unite.
but now you hit the unknown side
daily grind made you do
the things you thought you'd never do.
and now this step is done
shout out loud my inner fear
but nothing happens - nothing's real
i lose my only love
this is happening. this is real
and this is what i feel.
fly
she's stoned. she's lying on the floor
dead and cold. no laughter no more
if this is reality
i'd better sleep
lay me down and dream

Burning In My Head
02:22
|
|||
i can't sleep
i'm wondering
i need to know so many things
i'm wide awake and my eyes burn
there is so much to learn
my brain feels like irish stew
and my thoughts are the bread i dip into
it's burning in my head
it's burning in my head
it's burning in my head
i don't know where life may end
if kurt cobain was heaven sent
will we hear news from space
or deal with god from face to face
is there an answer for it all
are we just another stardust rise and fall
it's burning in my head
it's burning in my head
it's burning in my head
please stop thinking
all the time
there is no answer
will be no answer
and it's burning
keeps on burning
yes it burns
it's burning in my
it's burning in my
oh it burns in my head
it's burning till i'm dead

Under My Pillow
03:25
|
|||
lying awake
i see the sun come
i'm not alone
there is a monster in my bed
and gently pets my head
i'm still awake
i feel the night come
now there's a girl
and all i think is: run!
but i can't move and here she comes
under my pillow there is a monster
under my pillow there is a girl
under my pillow there is a mobster
and they play a cryptic game
i feel asleep
and in my dream i
saw a man
with a pillow in his hands
and this is where the story ends
under my pillow there was a monster
under my pillow there was a girl
and if the mobster hadn't stolen the pillow
they would still be there and play

One Day
02:01
|
|||
one day i will have a flash of wit
and then i can leave my shit behind
and everything will be fine
but till that day i have to
put myself on the line
see what a fool i am
don't have a clue nor a plan
but one day and that's for sure
yes one day i'll be
secure
someday i will have a flash of wit
and till that day i swamp my shit out
and everything's not fine
sometimes life is as sweet as a lime
see what a fool i am
don't have a clue nor a plan
but one day and that's for sure
yes one day i'll be
secure
now that i sing my own words
i recognize the word absurd
seems like a holy flash of shit
but hope springs eternal and one day
i'll have my flash of wit

My Fault
05:41
|
|||
my fault i know there will be no replay
no rewriting can be made
close to nothing and so far away from
where this story starts
no no no oh oh oh no
no no no oh oh oh no
my life i think will never be the same
now i would do many things
in another way
but there will be no replay
and i know it's my fault
my fault
yes it is
my fault
no no oh my fault
and still it is
