Enter Sandman
weil op einmohl einer fott es,
vun dämm de meins,dat de ahn ihm hängs.
Wenn de Deck dir op de Kopp fällt,
un dich nix mieh doheim hällt,
wei do keiner ess,
dä met dir verzällt.
Jank dir eine drinke, Jung,
schwaad einer ahn,
do setzen doch jenoch erömm,
die och et ärme Dier hann.
Helfe kann dir keiner,
sie verzälle dir nur Seiwer,
vun "waat ens aff
et weet alles widder joot ... widder joot."
Un dann wähßels'te de Weetschaft
Know Your Onion!
Shut out, pimpled and angry
I quietly tied all my guts into knots
Gave up on trying to make them
I figured it take them too long to look up
and besides
It was undeniably clear to me I don't know why
When every other part of life
seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we all are then
lucked out
found my favorite record
lying in wait at the birmingham mall
the songs that i heard
the occasional book
were the only fun i ever took
and i thought i was making myself
but the trick is just making yourself
but when they're parking their cars on your chest
you still got a veiw of the summer sky
to make it hurt twice when your restless body
caves to it's whims
and suddenly struggles to take flight...
three thousand miles northeast
i left all my friends at the morning bus stop
shaking their heads
"what kind of life you dream of? your allergic to love"
yes i know but i must say in my own defense
it's been undeniably clear to me i don't know why
when every other part of life
seemed locked behind shutters
i knew the worthless dregs we are
the selfless, loving saints we are
the melting, sliding dice we've always been.
