My brother is a farmer so you ask him what to do |
|
The rain's about to harm you, "build a fence" he says to you |
|
So you build a fence and wonder why you're slowly sinking in |
|
About the chief commander suggesting you should swim |
|
And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear: |
|
"It's strange in here" |
|
Now the whole place around you is drowning in a flood |
|
While the military's aiming at the sky that wouldn't stop |
|
My sister is a lawyer so you ask her what to do |
|
Your boy's drowned right before you "let me sue" she says to you |
|
And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear: |
|
"It's strange in here" |
|
Now the whole city's floating gently towards the sea |
|
You're turning to the President: "Ah Sir, don't let this be" |
|
He chuckles once and chuckles twice and then begins to shout: |
|
"Let's bring them clouds to justice, track em down and smoke em out" |
|
And that's the very moment when you stop and start to fear: |
|
"It's strange in here" |
|
When I was born I felt a tremble in my hand |
|
And in short time it started to expand |
|
It travelled up my arm and settled in my shoulder |
|
From there it filled my chest and scared my heart and took it over |
|
Ever since I'm far from sleep I walk the roads at night and weep: |
|
"Peace, please!" |
|
Soon after I would shake from head to toe |
|
I left my cardboard house in spite of not knowing where to go |
|
I thought I might find silence if I'd move at such fast pace |
|
So the shaking would sort of discharge somewhere along the race |
|
But the more I walked the more I ran the more things got out of hand |
|
God damn! |
|
Under these circumstances it was hard to find a job |
|
Let a lone to touch someone so I'd given up the thought |
|
But then one day I pointed out a figure in the dark |
|
Shaking just as much as me so I offered him my heart |
|
And now guess what happened, there was an earthquake |
|
And the whole world fell apart |
|
Once she had a dream from which she never would awake |
|
She feared that if she'd touch the ground her hands would start to shake |
|
Nothing ever fades away her kingdom knows no time |
|
The kick of any given kick is perfectly designed |
|
And she can pull it out any time (that's a bit like singing) |
|
The city that she's living in never would insist |
|
On anything of everything, it costs her nothing to exist |
|
Freedom, freedom freedom, free - chains are in demand |
|
When there is no necessity in using your own hands |
|
Well, maybe that's the reason why they're shaking |
|
Now you're banging on her door asking her to step outside |
|
"Come on girl, you must awake, go get yourself a life!" |
|
After endless minutes she answers finally: "maybe you know who you are |
|
But still you search for me, craving for the miracles of my uncertainty" |
|
"You have so much, I miss so much, but what you miss is what you have", |
|
She says |
|
Frome the outside it's you yelling back: "Oh, don't make me laugh!" |
|
When in fact you know she's true. Everything you need out there you need |
|
'cause it's not you |
|
"I'll let you part of my dream, if I can be part of yours" Bob Dylan said that |
|
"I'll let you part of my dream, if I can be part of your reality" |
|
I said that |
