I don't get it when I'm outside and my mobile is dead And my little toe hits on the edge of my bed I don't get it when the laces of my shoes are untied I just hate it when my chips aren't completely deep fried I don't get it when there's more dip than potato crisps left When I'm on my bike and the wind has blown off my hat I don't get it when I caught a cold and no hanky's around And when I bought a ticket that's nowhere to be found I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it... I don't get it when my toast landed butter-side down And when I need to poop and no toilet's around Not a fan of getting blisters from new my shoes Looking at the menu asking: »what shall I choose« I don't get why my pretzel's missing all the salt And when I'm in the shower and the water runs cold When there's no paper left after taking a poop And missing a letter in my letter soup I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it...

You don't need to say, I'm having trouble to obey So fuck your cabaret, I'm gonna leave this place someday Everyday I deal with crap which sometimes makes me almost snap There are times I wished I'd fled but then I held the fort instead But things are getting worse -- day by day I need to leave right now, gonna get away somehow Of travelling 'round the world I dream, hope to re-gain self-esteem Being free and independent - this will be my theme In the belly of the iron serpent, travelling far north I'm encountering some fine men - who seem to need support A new star they seek they tell, the old one he must excel In their travelling hotel, they promised he could dwell And things are working out - they hired me »I won't disappoint - that you will see« My new journey has begun, my old life is finally done I'm the happiest bonobo and with joy I'm overrun In what hell I have wound up, my excitement has been crushed A shithole of grande degree, behind iron bars I'm stuck I am forced to fulfil tasks, mankind's cruelty's unmasked I demand to disappear, why do all the humans laugh The life I dreamt to have -- that's passé And again I get the urge - to break-away Tell me how do I escape? Why won‘t you set me free? I really hate my life - Fuck you, destiny!

Space and time will always change They came to us one day Progress is what remains Even though in disarray Shadows warped and twisted In a rather morbid way Jolly Ghosts are smiling in the distance You better hide Happiness for everybody Happiness for everybody The Witches Jelly has stolen your limbs The Mosquito Mange struck hard Obey or get detained; The future — can’t be disarmed Your wishes hide where the Meat Grinder sleeps Just one step ahead Sacrifice a life for all my dreams You better wish

I have nothing left to hope for After I've got washed up on the shore I'm wandering in a big skeleton With bones covered in moss When I'm looking through my mask I see that nothing’s left to restore I don’t have anything to hope for After you have been destroyed by war I want to fly into space But I have to hide underground Don't want to live in this new world Two hundred feet beneath the town Force answers force and war breeds war Something - we have seen before We're hiding like rats in our own grave Ended up having ourselves enslaved And we still haven’t learned a thing Instead we keep clipping our wings Guess, we have reaped what we have sown We'll be always on our own I thought I‘d nothing left to hope for Evolution‘s been knocking on our door The next generation of humankind And again — we are being blind Things we can’t see - we will smite Moving one step closer into the light I thought I‘d finally fly to space And again our hope has been erased

My heart went boom when you were entering the room I've been waiting the whole week for this Your shiny metal robe has given me new hope I'm so happy that you exist You're a delight I'm gonna hold you tight Until - we unite I will never let you out of my sight (I will never never never never never never never never) Things will never change with you even when I did screw... up - because I let you down It almost doesn't matter when I drop you and you shatter You don't need to frown You're a delight I'm gonna hold you tight Until - we unite I will never let you out of my sight (I will never never never never never never never never) You're still a delight I'll always hold you tight Until - we unite I will never let you out of my sightt (I won't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever)

I am trapped in this hollow room Where my past got caught I billion miles away from home My future falls apart But fortune’s always been with me Something‘s gone wrong Now I'm starting to have trouble to breathe That's when I realised you're almost gone I can't breathe without you I need you to survive I can't breathe without you Lost my oxygen supplies I promise it will never happen again I am sorry that I took you for granted But it's getting kind of hard to catch breath While floating around Your friend gravity has also left And I’m begging for you to show mercy You’re the reason I exist And without you, I can't be
