My Shopping Tongue
03:21

My shopping eyes are falling to my feet
My shopping tongue lay down and fell asleep
The supermarket ballads make it hard for me to leave
So I look for something bright and sweet and cheap
I‘ve made a paper plane from the list she gave me
Now I think I need everything
Won‘t someone please come here and save me
My shopping mouth holds words I‘ve never heard
My shopping hands are warm and full of dirt
This supermarket lovesong makes it hard for me to leave
And I look for something shallow, sweet and cheap
I‘ve made a paper plane from the list she gave me
Now I think I need everything
Won‘t someone please come here and save me
Don’t remind me of what I’ve said
Don’t confront me with my regrets
Don’t remind me of what I’ve said
I wish I wished we never ever met

Budget Moon

I’m going to climb up to the moon
I’ll be over this soon
If Mark can do it, I can do it too
Now I can see myself down there
Thinking of you
Oh, what a fool
But what was he supposed to do?
And even if I could
I’m not trying to find you
And if you don’t look up
The moon is not going to shine for you
And I’m not trying to find you
All this time
It was me who saw her shine - never you
All this time
These words and gestures in my mind weren’t true
And even if I could
I’m not trying to find you
And all this time
It was just me
Never you
Never mind
It was just me
And I’m not trying to find you

A Different Austria

You took the long way down
She led you through her hometown
Feet touched the ground
The river made no sound
She's always in view
One step ahead of you
She's always in view
You tried to hide your face
Your mouth full of toothpaste
So you wouldn't make a sound
You'd take the long way down
She's always in view
One step ahead of you
She's always in view
It's all in your mind
All in your dreams tonight
She's always in view
One step ahead of you
It was all in your mind
All in your dreams last night
They all know the truth
They've never heard of you

The Closest
04:01
|

|
I had some time to watch my hair grow white
Some time to hear my own voice - so quiet
Time I wanted to catch
Before my hands turn to dust
And though it's late
I'll take a walk outside to make it all okay
And that's the closest I will get
Hey
I'll take a walk tonight to see if you're okay
And that's the closest I will get
There's something in my ear
Your lips are moving
But there's nothing I can hear
But time
And though it's late
I'll take a walk outside to make it all okay
And that's the closest I will get
Hey
I'll take a walk tonight to see if you're okay
And that's the closest that l get
You can trust me

Giant bumblebee
Hiding between bricks
I've never seen your mouth
Moving when you speak
May I ask you to leave
There is a stupid joke
On your coffee mug
Your friend is in hospital
And you still take his drugs
And you say I'm sick
I'm sick of this
You call me sick
No deer in headlights
No drunk outside the club
Don't you think we've had enough now?
Don't you think that it's enough?
No deer in headlights
No drunk outside the club
Giant bumblebee
Still humming in my mind
Why should I care?
You've never been a friend of mine
Send shivers down someone else's spine
Send shivers down
No deer in headlights
No drunk outside the bar
Don't you think we've had enough now?
Don't you think that it's enough?
No wolf outside the door
What was I waiting for?
Don't you think we've had enough now?
Don't you think that it's enough?
Don't you think?
