Bone To Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy)
vergisst man so viele und sieht manche nicht.
Habt mir Wege geebnet und Schatten verscheucht,
und euch mit mir gefreut, und deshalb ist
das hier fuer euch:
Du stehst nie in der Zeitung
wie die Grossen dieser Welt,
doch fuer mich bist du - so wie du bist -
im kleinen ein Held.
Nach dem Krieg am Nullpunkt
hast du gerackert und geglaubt,
dein Leben lang fuer die Deinen
am Leben gebaut.
Luxus war nie wichtig und kein blinder Respekt.

8 1/2 Minutes
Oh, launched all the world's nukes this morning
Hoping it would kick-start something

I saw an astronomer break down on CNN
He said, “I'm a scientist, not your fucking clergyman!�
And no one's going nowhere ‘cause the cars are all frozen
They give the power plants ten days
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake
And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes
And a dead black disk slides silently overhead
It's fucking beautiful is what it is.
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
When I die I'm going to heaven
Leave it to the cockroaches and the 7-11s
But it'd be nice to think we could get it right down here just once…
