Babelfish

Just when you thought
You'd run out of date and time
And just when i felt
Like you'd been out of your mind
Sensing defeat under your skin
A door opens up so you walk right in

And out of the blue
You're out of the agony
You're out of this world
Right where you ought to be
Out of the blue
Nothing can get to you

Filled up with doubt
'bout losing integrity
Filled with lost faith
In moving instinctively
Out of control, out of thin air
Something comes up and just take you there

And out of the blue...

Just when you thought
You couldn't win
A door opens up so you walk right in

And out of the blue...

Tic-tac
Before you say gesundheit
You'll have a flashback
That's a big crack
And honey, it seems we've walked
In circles for eternity
It's tricky to be happy

And time is being quite unkind
And roughly in my prime
It leaves me left behind

Tic-tac
Watch the watch move faster
While you break your back
You can't keep track
And honey, we're wasting half our lives
In front of the tv
You'd better hold me, please hold me

'cause time is being quite unkind...

Afraid i won't pass the test of time

Tic-tac
I'm not hungry you can have
The last big mac
I need a new snack
And maybe the dinosaur got older
Than we'll ever be
So save me, please hurry

'cause time is being quite unkind...

The speechwriter said
Please president let me stay in bed
I'm fighting a war
I can't face the mirror anymore
The speechwriter's dead
I'm speechless he said

My wall is broken
My truth is based on lies
My eyes are opened
I've seen through your disguise
My wall is broken
My wall is broken
My wall just fell down

The officer said
Dear general, new thoughts filled my head
I think i've been wrong
I've taken your orders way too long
I've clenched to my tree
Like a leaf in late fall
I truly belive
In nothing at all

My wall is broken...

My name shined so bright
Reflecting in my lights
Someone put a sign up
On this rainy night
Naturally i stopped
All three doors were locked
When right out of nowhere
Came this creepy man
With gun in hand
He screamed "stay in your van"

Well, i can wait
I'm an open-minded guy
I can wait
I'm in no hurry to die

I rolled my window down
Said "we can get along"
He growled "hi,i'm satan
Take me back to town
I came to steal your soul
But i'm too freezing cold
'cause i've been working too hard
So just drive me home
And i'll leave you alone"

Well, i can wait...

When we got 'round the bend
He said "i won't tell when
But we will meet again
Some sunny day"

Now it seems so unreal
Satan turned on his heel
And made me a deal

Well, i can wait...

Turning in my sleep
Searching for the dream
That will expose me
Am i the one i seem
When i awake i realize
I am in alien disguise
Like a boyscout without eyes

Nobody told me
"son, you're on your own"
Now i'm bewildered
Collectively alone
I try to give friends a helping hand
While i betray my own demands
An astaire who could not dance
An astaire who could not dance

I shout to gods
I pray for floods
To wash my pain away
I kneel, i crawl
Get up and fall
I just can't find my way
Like a boat without a bay

I shout to gods
I pray for floods
To wash my pain away
I kneel, i crawl
Get up and fall
Until i'm out of tries
Like a boyscout without eyes
Like a boyscout without eyes

Cold
Laughing like a moron in a can
A chill runs down my spine
Am i the joke or the comedian
I'm running out of time
Lips that tasted tears
Left a trail of peas
Still

Nothing has changed
Nothing's new
And there's nothing you can do
When despair takes control
When you're feeling two feet tall

Fear
Realizing it's become a curse
It's driving me insane
As paranoid as stalin at his worst
With no one left to blame
Trembling like a leaf
Sinking like a stone
Finding no relief

Nothing has changed...

So will you help me out
Catch me if i fall
Will you erase some doubt
I've been feeling two feet tall

A kiss
Lips that tasted tears
Left a sense of waste
Apathy appears

Nothing has changed
Nothing's new
But the fear of losing you
There's no cure
No loophole
When you're feeling two feet tall

Thought that you were listening
Thought your butt might be worth kissing
But the smile got stuck
It felt like a disease
Took another wrong turn
So i watched another bridge burn down
I am spending most of my time
Down on my knees
Sesame, open up
I want in, i want your stuff
It's cold out here
My soul has caught the flu
I have made my life's decision
I'd probably kill for my ambition
If i thought it'd help
I might just kill you too

And you say i'm half
Half hearted
You say i'm half
Half hearted

You've got me second guessing
What i thought had been a blessing
I got so close
But you put me back on hold
And if nothing sells like sincerity
Then listen up 'cause i might be
Speaking from the bottom of my soul

And you say i'm half...

You have been my scapegoat
It is you that's kept me afloat
I have put all blame on you instead on me
My wounds are self inflicted
I've been feeling so vindictive
That the truth has been impossible to see

God i've been half
Half hearted...
