It’s not as if I lost a leg or an arm
But still I feel this indescribable pain
In a part of me that’s not here
It’s in all those people who have to fall asleep every night
To the sound of missiles coming down

Chorus:
So give me something against this phantom pain of mine
Give me a knew god, one who has not been here before
One without a gender, one without color of skin
One without a heaven, give me one without a hell
Give me one without ideals
Give me one without any power, any power, any power at all

Would I still be the same if I lost a leg or an arm?
Would I still be the same if I lost
My home, my child, my hope, my mind?

Chorus: …

Would you still be the same if you lost a leg or an arm?
Would you still be the same if you lost
Your home, your child, your hope, your mind?

Chorus: …

Sweet Lies you told to the ears of the young
And everything you said painted the sky in a different blue
And everything you said made so much sense
How it would all get easier
So let me stay with you for some more time

Sweet lies you told to the ears of the young
Sweet lies you told to the ears of the young
And everything you said painted the world
In brighter colors than I’ve ever known
And tomorrow is another day for sure
It’s all gonna be alright, I know
It’s gonna be just fine

And every story that you told
Was about those brighter days to come
And how a mind like yours could never fail
To give, unfold and receive in return
And everything you said made so much sense
How it would all get easier
So let me stay with you for some more time

Chorus: …

Who knows what you truly believed?
Who knows where you got your ideas?
But maybe, just maybe, you are (by far)
The bravest mind I’ve ever known

Sweet lies you told, sweet lies you told, sweet lies
So let me stay with you for some more time
Let me rest my head in this quiet place
Let me listen to you to those sweet, sweet words
Let me find some peace and let me believe
Let me believe in those sweet, sweet lies

Hey, I have not been here before
I make all my mistakes for the first time
I could do anything you want
And still, it would never be enough

So did I kill your first-born?
So did I fuck up your marriage?
So did I crash your car?
So did I ruin your parade?

What was I thinking to come here
To take this far leap into cold, cold water
All that you say makes more than clear
Just what you really think of me

So did I steal your boyfriend?
So did I cost you an arm?
So did I soil your name?
So did I ruin your parade?

You can call me any name you want
You can call me anything you want
I will walk out here in victory
With my dignity still intact

Hey, I have not been here before
I make all my mistakes for the first time…

So did I kill your first-born?
So did I fuck up your marriage?
So did I cost you an arm?
So did I ruin your parade?

Fireflies were rising all around
As you were telling me about your life and your plans
How you wanted to grow beyond your own shadow
How you wanted to become the first
The first man on Mars

Chorus:
And I said, your way is long and dark
And I said, I hope you’ll make it there
But you said: “I’m sorry, girl, I gotta go
To become the first man on Mars.“

Sometimes I stand outside on your porch
And I think that I can see you through my kaleidoscope
Flying like a firefly among the stars
On your way to become the first
The first man on Mars

Chorus: …

And all the people you have left behind
They all still wait for your return
Do you even remember how young we were?
When you said you wanted to become
The first man on Mars

Chorus 2:
And I said, your way is long and dark
And I just hope you will make it there
You’re gonna make it there, I know
Sometimes I think that I can still see you
Through my kaleidoscope
Waving and smiling back at us who stayed behind
And I said, your way there will be so long and dark
I just hope you’re gonna make it back
To become the first
Man on Earth

Summer light, a broken window, and her face right behind
Every room that you enter, every street you walk down
You are haunted by her
You are chasing the ghost of a good thing
You are chasing the ghost of that girl
You are haunted by those precious memories
You are haunted by the ghost of that girl

Chorus:
You are half-blind, all you see is her face
You are half-deaf, all you hear is her voice
And every word that you hear is like the echo of her name
And every word that you say is like the echo of her name

You are chasing the ghost of a good thing
You are chasing the ghost of that girl
Who got the Sunday mornings in bed?
Who got them all? Who got them all?
Who got those long walks, those long talks?
Where did they get you? Where did they get you?
You are haunted by those precious memories
You are haunted by the ghost of that girl

Chorus: …

You are chasing the ghost of a good thing
You are chasing the ghost of that girl
You are haunted by those precious memories
You are haunted by the ghost of that girl

Chorus: …

You are half-blind, all you see is her face
You are half-deaf, all you hear is her voice
And every word that you hear…

Looking for patterns as we run along these lanes
Dusty windows and old faith buried in the yard
It’s been a long and winding road
And the wind on my face is cold

Chorus:
But in no time I’ll be bouncing off the concrete walls
Of this town that you call your home
And in no time you’ll see me glowing in the night
You will wonder what has brought me here
And by the time you recognize me in the streets
I’ll be tracking down their history
And in no time I’ll be bouncing off the concrete walls
Of this town you call your home.

Running in circles in these enlightened squares
Trails of liberty and the rest
The heroes made of stone, they look down upon us
But they won’t recall a thing

Streetcars keep rattling past us
Old stories are blowing in the wind
I think I’ve heard this song before
At another place, at another time

Chorus: …

Running in circles as we run wild along these lanes
Our footprints are fading in these streets
The people passing us by won’t recall your face
When I said, it was not my intent
No, I didn’t, I never meant to linger
No, I never came here to stay
I never came to settle down
Never meant to linger for so long
Never meant to stay

At the corner of the street, there he sits and he waits all day
For you to pass him by
And should you drop a coin or two, he’s gonna yell after you
For a mile or two

Thank you, thank you, Sir, thank you
God bless you, Sir, thank you, thank you
And you’re gonna quicken your step
You’re gonna feel the blush creep into your cheeks

And should you not have a coin or two
He’s gonna give you his two cents anyway
On any topic you may choose, he’s gonna talk to you
For an hour, or maybe even two

And when you walk away in the end
He is gonna yell after you
For a street or two, thank you, Sir, thank you
God bless you, Sir, thank you, thank you

But when the night is falling
He’s gonna take his dog and his hat and his bike
He’s gonna fade from sight
He’s gonna turn that corner and walk into the night

Nobody knows where he goes at night
Nobody knows where he rests his head
But in the morning he’ll be back at the corner of the street
With his dog and his bike and his hat

And should you drop a coin or two,
He is gonna yell after you
For a mile or even two: Thank you, Sir, thank you
God bless you, Sir, and you children, too.

You're just a man, you do what you can
Anyone could find a trace of you in my face
I wish I could wipe away the past
So I could find myself
In this maze of “yours“ and “hers“

You're just a man, it’s not like you can
Change the way that people see the shame on your face
You wish you could wipe away the past
So you could find yourself
In this maze of “yours“ and “hers“

I'm your son, I'm you daughter
I'm quite alright, you know
I am your fault, I'm your masterpiece
I am your son, I’m your daughter

You say I speak too little, I say too much
You say I know too little, I know way too much
In your shoes I won't get far
Your shoes are too tight to get me anywhere at all

I'm your brother, I'm your sister, I'm your nephew, I'm your niece,
I'm your fault, I'm your masterpiece
And I’m quite alright, you know
I am your son, I’m your daughter

My sleeves are too long, my shoes are too tight
My hair is a mess, my glasses too thick
I should try harder and sit up straight
I could do so much better
I should just be myself

I'm your brother, I'm your sister, I'm your nephew, I'm your niece,
I'm your fault, I'm your masterpiece
And I’m quite alright, you know
I am your son, I’m your daughter
Whatever I am trying, I never get it right
No, according to you, I never get it right
And I highly doubt your divinity
So let me erase you from my face

You said you need a change
You need to get away from here
You’re getting sick and tired
Of this small town with its crowded spaces
You’re getting tired of everybody knowing your name
Knowing your past
And you want to get to a new place
Where nobody knows your name

Chorus:
But I, oh I remember you
As you were when you were the smart kid of the neighborhood
And you were so scared of that wild girl with the scraped knees
Who threw pinecones at your window
Just to get you to run away with her on every adventure
To hold her hand – and did I ever tell you?
You were my favorite adventure.
No, everything has changed
You need to get out of here

You said, you need a change
You need to get away from here
You’re getting sick and tired
Of the same old faces, those narrow spaces
And you’re getting so tired
Of everybody knowing every step you take
You need to get some place
Where nobody knows your name
Where you can start anew

Chorus:
I remember you
As you were …

You said, you need a change
You need to get away from here
You’re need wipe the boards
Start writing your own history
And don’t want anyone to remember you
But I, I will remember you
Just you, just you

Ohne Worte stehst du auf und gehst nach vorne
Kein Blick zurück, kein Zögern im Gesicht
Ohne Worte sprichst du zum vollbesetzten Saal
Keiner hier, der das Schweigen bricht

Das richtige Wort, sagt man, kann Berge versetzen
Lässt Gefechte enden, Verlorenes auferstehen
Doch tausend Worte wären bei weitem nicht genug
Die Richtung zu ändern, in die wir gehen

Und du erzählst und erzählst von allem, was du weisst
Bist so gesprächig, wenn du schweigst

Lausche dir so still, ganz ohne Worte
Horche auf, ein Lichtblick oder nicht?
Gibt es je einen Sieger in diesem täglichen Spiel
Wer zuerst die Stille bricht?

Ohne Worte steh ich auf und gehe leise
Der größte Redner sitzt schweigend am Klavier
Sollte schreien rufen brüllen bis alle Welt mich hört
Aber dies sag ich nur dir: …

Bist so still, baust ganze Welten ohne Worte
Schaffst neue Wege, nur gehen magst du sie nicht
Ein letztes Wort hängt mir noch leise an den Lippen
Doch es verhallt, bevor der Vorhang fällt

Ohne Worte gehen wir beide unsrer Wege
Ein Blick zurück, ein Lächeln im Gesicht
Am Ende gibt es nur Gewinner, nur Verlierer
Wenn niemand je das Schweigen bricht

Und du erzählst und erzählst von allem, was du weißt
Bist so gesprächig, wenn du schweigst

This avalanche it took you down
It took you by surprise
It's 5am, you pray they won't
See you like this

How could everything you hoped for
Shatter beyond repair?
How far away could you find yourself
From what you wished to become?

But there is something I tried to tell you
With and even without words
But you wouldn't listen
So confused, you didn't hear me say that

I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
On the other side of this
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
On the other side of this maze of memories
and promises unkept and untold
There's too much to hold in
So don't try
Don't wonder why

One day you may walk away from here
To where all streets appear like gold
You'll feel the weight fall from your heart
and see how much you’ve gained
You'll be able to walk with your head held high
For the first time in years
With your arms wide open you’ll look around
And then you may see that

I've been waiting, I've been waiting
On the other side of this
I've been waiting, I've been waiting
On the other side of this maze of memories
And promises unkept and untold
There's too much to hold in
So don't try
Don't wonder why
Don't you cry ...

What a night – was it worth the wait?
There you stand with bare feet on the grass
The rain is running off your skin – as if it were your shield
You look like a king, the king of everything

Chorus: You wish to be the man; you wish to be the man
Who can feel the storm coming from afar
You wish to be the man; you wish to be the man
Who can feel it all coming from afar

You smell it on the wind, the air has changed
The grass is breathing underneath your feet
Time is dripping from your fingertips as you walk
Tonight you’re walking with the gods

Chorus: …

Do you still recognize my face?
Do you remember how you ended up here?
All consequence has fled your mind
There you stand in the rain, almost blind

What a night – was it worth the wait?
Everything you should have been falls away
You’re feeling so free for the very first time
You feel like a king, the king of everything

Chorus: …

There you stand; here I stand, watching you
Shed everything that has kept you down
There are so many things I could say
But every word is dying on the tip of my tongue
