lyrics

Will you marry me, shining girl far from prying eyes?
A raging crowd divides us.
There's no time for delay to brush your neck for a little while.
Don't pretend to not care, it's not a prayer.
You glide into the fire and twist the knife in the wound.
Have you ever seen a rat leap in the air?
A swarm of truncheons make him fall in a world without toys.
A lightning rod provides
a low-resistance path to ground.
To battle it out, I'm at your disposal as cannon fodder.
Why have you forsaken me!
Oh, why have you forsaken me!
I did all my best to not betray you.
I am close to collapsing. Caress my bloody head.
All in all, I have always believed
in the invisible theatre of everyday life.
After all, I need to fall in love to stay alive.
I don't mind, I don't mind the cold.
