The Space 04:15
We've been stuck too long On this planet called 'home' Now it's time to leave this world behind Spaceship take me out Beyond all reasonable doubt We're on a mission to find a new way out
2.
As the stars fly by I wave it all goodbye The birds and the bees The grass and the trees In the backyard of my beautiful home Where I left my collection of snow domes And treasured memories of friends and family And treasured memories of friends and family who left me in the cold Oh why, I've never been told Oh why, I've never been told No, I've never been told

There's no porn on Youtube Yet you can find a lot of horror It's a horror there's no porn Is it of violence we're born?
4.
A bush is not a tree The tree is not me Autemn red leaves Floating on a western breeze Bright blue skies Sparrows gather together They don’t mind the weather
5.
When a contractor’s trying to rip you off Or some asshole wants to jump in line A colleague got his mind send on your job And starts sucking up to your boss When some character steals your parking space And gives you the finger on top Or you’re getting hit hard in the face By a white supremacist mob Always ask yourself: What would Djenghis do? Turn the other cheek, the hell he would Only one question: What would Djenghis do? What would Djenghis do? When you catch your best friend in your bed While your wife is giving him head Or you’re being blackmailed by someone Who has a picture of you jerking off When some deadbeats spray grafitti on your new façade And they don’t have any talent at all A terrorist declaring a jihad On your decadent way of life Always ask yourself: What would Djenghis do? Turn the other cheek, the hell he would Only one question: What would Djenghis do? What would Djenghis do? Only one question: What would Djenghis do? What would Djenghis do?

Darling, my rocketship is a long way from home Yet home is not where I want to be I remember all the good times I remember all the fun I remember buying daisies Flowers always cheered you up In the summer, we were gazing at the nightsky Looking at the stars and dreaming about Lifeforms that would visit us Aaaah...

I look for places where I stay a while and hear If you walk it takes half an hour The information is passed on in a correct manner And the channels are reliable Especially in urban environments Ranging from spotty to brilliant I'm a tourist in my own ex-town (x3 or 4)

Ten thousand eyes staring at me Not a single one of them really sees Ten thousand ears are hearing me Not a single one of them really listens One last job, then I’m done… for One last pretense sing-a-long Ten thousand hands rythmically waving goodbye One last song, stop living the lie Combustible verses of good times gone I’m charged with anger and jumpdust A finger away from the grand finale Hear this arrangement, it’s gonna be a blast

I put my spaceship down Down on alien ground I put my helmet on And start to walk around I don't make any sound I see a million strangers and they're staring at me I say: "I come from Earth, I come in peace!", with great relief But then they point their guns at me This is the last thing I can see Hey, is that me I see? No! No, this can't be! It must be someone else, who's walking towards me...
