NASA scientists made a discovery
A new planet called Kepler 22b
They said there might be life out there
So we went to check the atmosphere
600 light years from home

Can’t believe what we were seeing
A crowd of one eyed alien beings
Waiting for us to drop the beat

Waive your tentacles in the air
We came to party
Do you speak dance?
Put the needle on the record
Take me to your DJ
Do you speak dance?

Hey NASA we made a discovery
These cosmic kids know how to party
Their green skin glows when they shake their butts
They love to crump with suction cups
600 light years from home

Never seen such party potential
10,000 extra-terrestrials
Waiting for us to hit the floor

Waive your tentacles in the air
We came to party
Do you speak dance?
Put the needle on the record
Take me to your DJ
Do you speak dance?

Waive your tentacles in the air
We came to party
Do you speak dance?
Put the needle on the record
Take me to your DJ
Do you speak dance?

Move those bendy legs
I want to see you shuffling
Move those bendy legs
Non-stop planet rockin’

Move those bendy legs
I want to see you shuffling
Move those bendy legs
Non-stop planet rockin’

Waive your tentacles in the air
We came to party
Do you speak dance?
Put the needle on the record
Take me to your DJ
Do you speak dance?

Waive your tentacles in the air
We came to party
Do you speak dance?
Put the needle on the record
Take me to your DJ
Do you speak dance?

Turn on bright lights
Silk shorts and white tights
Rub the oil into my skin
Do some stretches and squats
My thighs could crack nuts
And then I hear the bell ring

This is the main event
Come to my room

Here comes my signature move

Body slam!

Licking your lips cause you love the taste
I’m gonna rub my fun all over your face
Badabing, Badabang
Body Slam!

We start over again
For more pleasure and pain
You’re not out for the count just yet

This is the main event

I think you pass the test
Here comes my vertical press

Body slam!

Punching, squeezing
Squashing, kissing
Jump at you off the ropes

Hey ho, I wanna go
Hey ho, I wanna go
Hey ho, I wanna go
Hey ho, I wanna go

Hey ho, I wanna go
I wanna go to Tokyo
Hey ho, I wanna go
I wanna go to Tokyo

We came up with a plan
Rocking out in Japan
And sing the song that goes…

Hey ho, I wanna go
I wanna go to Tokyo
Hey ho, I wanna go
I wanna go to Tokyo

Riding on the bullet train
Sushi, sake and cocaine
And sing the song that goes…

Hey ho, I wanna go
I wanna go to Tokyo
Hey ho, I wanna go
I wanna go to Tokyo

You hung around and gave my your number
After the show in New York
I called you straight away, coz of the spell I was under
You said, “Why don’t we picnic in the park.”

Went to the market, got 30 bananas
20 mangoes, got to fill my cart
A box a plums and a pound of guavas
I am ready for my picnic in the park

I lay down all the fruits
I put cherries on your knees
You said I must be crazy
“Where’s the bagels and cream cheese”
But baby, listen too me please

Look at my fruit
Don’t be scared of it
I know you wanna eat it
Can’t get enough of it
Let yourself go and taste it
I wanna make a party in your mouth tonight

And so I tried to eat your picnic
But I didn’t know where to start
You ate some grapes and began to panic
Maybe you’re not ready for my picnic in the park

If it’s too much for you now
Don’t worry that’s ok
Just enjoy the moment
Please don’t run away
Save my plums for another day

Look at my fruit
Don’t be scared of it
I know you wanna eat it
Can’t get enough of it
Let yourself go and taste it
I wanna make a party in your mouth tonight

My fruit is in your hands
Take it and shake it
My fruit is in your hands
Shake it, gonna make it

My fruit is in your hands
Take it and shake it
My fruit is in your ugh!

I turned around and all I found
Was peelings on the floor
You took my hand and smiled at me
And said you wanted more
I never felt like this before

Look at my fruit
Don’t be scared of it
I know you wanna eat it
Can’t get enough of it
Let yourself go and taste it
I wanna make a party in your mouth tonight

Look at my fruit
Look at my fruit

Look at my fruit
I got some peaches and some strawberries
Look at my fruit
Tangerine, cherry

Look at my fruit
Watermelon, purple mangosteen
Look at my fruit
Clementine, lychee

Look at my fruit
Cherimoya, mango, blueberry
Look at my fruit
Lady finger, kumquat

You’re a bit of a weirdo
You won’t eat honey
Cause the bees will lose their home
And I’m a bit of a weirdo
I hear voices in my head
When I’m all alone

We’re misunderstood
Cause we’re always fighting
Doesn’t matter what they say anyway
What about our dreams?
Gotta keep on trying
Just let me hear you say

Smash our hearts together
It’s you and me and there’s some emotion
Smash our hearts together
Until we make a love explosion

You’re a little bit crazy
You kick a wall
And then complain you hurt your feet
And I’m a little bit crazy
I sneak under you bed
So I can hear you breathe

Let’s not waste our time
You know it’s now or never
C’mon let’s go
Can’t wait to take you there
Don’t want tonight to end
Let’s make it last forever
Dance like you just don’t care

Smash our hearts together
It’s you and me and there’s some emotion
Smash our hearts together
Until we make a love explosion

Turn up the heat
I’m feeling the beat
I dive in headfirst
Don’t want you to say no
I’m like a volcano
I’m ready to
I’m ready to… burst

Smash our hearts together
It’s you and me and there’s some emotion
Smash our hearts together
Until we make a love explosion

Smash our hearts together
It’s you and me and there’s some emotion
Smash our hearts together
Until we make a love explosion

It’s so cold outside
Still dark when I arrive
It’s four in the morning
Turn on machinery
At this old bakery
And I can’t stop yawning

Kneading the bread, it’s not easy
Muscles aching and the hours go slow
Kneading the bread, it’s hard, believe me
But right now I got to get my hands on some dough
And right now I gotta get some food to Otto

My face is pressed against the window
It’s 10.30am, you should be home soon
I climb into your bed, wondering what’s happening
My heart skips a beat as you walk into the room

I broke into the local school last night
Here’s a list of homework for you to do
I got a box of bread and cakes for you
But don’t wake me up until four, thirty, five in the afternoon

You take me out, all over this city
These streets belong to you and me
You’re smashing windows
In a derelict factory
You get us into movies for free
And you are everything I want to be
That’s why you mean everything to me

Back at the squat, it’s 10 o’clock
It’s way past somebody’s bedtime
I read him a story, it’s a little bit boring
But I pretend that I don’t mind

The sculptor next door, starts up his chainsaw
I’ll never get this boy to sleep
The screaming wood stops, heavy eyelids drop
And slowly out the door I creep

I’m only blocks away
The closer I get, the more I just want to be…

Jumping up and down
In a nightclub with 500 hundred strangers
Losing my mind
With the rockers and the ravers
Sweaty and dark, I can be anything I want
I’m jumping up and down
In a nightclub with 500 hundred strangers

Ohhhh
It’s nearly time for work
Ohhhh
Something’s gotta give something’s gotta give
Can’t go on like this
Can’t go on like this

Saving up for three months now
We waited all night in the rain
To make sure we got tickets

8th of April 1990
Front row at the Deutchehalle
With me on your shoulders

David Bowie is in Berlin
“And he’s doing a concert”
David Bowie is in Berlin
David, David, David, David, David
Is here

His voice
Went into the microphone
Out of the speakers
Into our ears
And he blew our freaking minds
Amen

We ran all the way home
Singing, ‘We could be heroes’
You and me, we’re gonna be a band
We’re starting tomorrow

What kind of band are we gonna be?
The best band in the world, actually
But don’t drums and guitars cost lots of money?
Just leave that tiny detail to me

In the morning when I woke up
I was shocked and surprised to see
A set of tiny drums
And a red Flying V

I told you I could do it
And I got them all for free
What’s this label here?
‘Kreutzberg School Property’
“Astrid, what did you do?”

They must be getting new ones
I know it sounds crazy
But they threw these ones out in the street
What an opportunity
“That is such great timing”
“I know”

Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte
Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte

Oooh baby, baby
H, h, h honey
C, c, c, c’mon
Oooh yeah!

F, f, f, fever
B, b, b, bus stop
D, d, d, dancing
Oooh yeah!

Best band in the world
Best band in the world
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Wooh
Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte
Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte

I’ve been thinking
That the world has come undone
And if we don’t do something
What will we all become?
We got the power of the people
No time to compromise
The message is simple
We’re fighting for our lives

All over the world they will be listening
Let’s raise our voices
We’re finding a way to make a difference
Let’s make good choices

Shop at the local farmers market
Walk the dogs of the elderly
Plant an organic kitchen garden
Buy a goat for a poor family

All over the world they will be listening
Let’s raise our voices
We’re finding a way to make a difference
Just make good choices

Don’t drive a car when you can cycle
Eating things that supermarkets throw out
Visit a stranger in a hospital
Let some homeless people sleep in your house

All over the world they will be listening
Let’s raise our voices
We’re finding a way to make a difference
Just make good choices

Free the chickens in the factories
Teach some orphans how to play guitar
Spend your weekends making history
Then publish them in your memoir
You’re a star

Just make good choices
Just make good choices

Automatic door
You’re always open for me
So unconditionally
Automatic door
Automatic door

Dirty chore dinosaur

You’re not the kind of person who needs attention
Just a little direction
You’re my second best friend
You’d never phone me for a chat
Cause I don’t like that
You and me
We’re second best friends
You pop up unexpectedly
Temporarily
You’re my second best friend
All action, No distractions
Satisfaction
Second best friend

Don’t need to be friends for long
Could just be for the length of this song

I got a best friend
But there’s room for more
I’m gonna open up my front door
Put on your wetsuit
And when I say yeah
You can dive in to my deep end
Second Best Friend
Second Best Friend

You’re like a verb always doing things to me
My anatomy
Second best friend
You like to exercise
Surprise my inner thighs
You and me were second best friends
I’m your guide on this ride, slip and slide,
Come in side
Be my second best friend
My thoughts, you in shorts
Water sports
Second best friend

Don’t wanna hear you complain about your mother
I wanna take you home and dress you in rubber

I got a best friend
But there’s room for more
I’m gonna open up my back door
Put on your wetsuit
And dive in to my deep end
Second Best Friend
Second Best Friend

A couple of hours is all I can manage
You and your friend we’ll make a little sandwich

I got a best friend
But there’s room for more
I’m gonna open up my front door
Put on your wetsuit
And dive in to my deep end
Second Best Friend
Second Best Friend
Second Best Friend
Second Best Friend

I found you lying on the floor of the supermarket
You’d fallen, but nobody knew
I picked you up, I dusted you off just like a puppet
I’m glad there’s something I could do

I took you home you told me stories
Things that no one would believe
Growing up Venezuela in a tree
In a tree

Ba-na-na-na
I know where it should go, I know where it should go
Ba-na-na-na
I know where it should go, I know where it should go
There is a place where you belong
My banana has a home
My banana has a home
My banana has a home

You looked as happy as clam in your new apartment
No trouble fitting in
You gazed at me knowingly, then the rumbling started
Sounds of hunger from within

You filled my mouth with all your glory
A taste that no one would believe
When you’re inside me we are one
We are one

Ba-na-na-na
I know where it should go, I know where it should go
Ba-na-na-na
I know where it should go, I know where it should go
There is a place where you belong
My banana has a home
My banana has a home
My banana has a home

I was alone
And I felt useless
You saw the beauty
Beneath the bruises

My life began again that morning
In a way that I could not believe
Slowly you peeled back my skin, I went in, I went in

Ba-na-na-na
I know where it should go, I know where it should go
Ba-na-na-na
I know where it should go, I know where it should go
There is a place where you belong
My banana has a home
My banana has a home
My banana has a home

Young boy playing with matches
What are you doing boy?
Young girl doesn’t look when she crosses the road
What are you doing girl?
People running with scissors
What are you doing people?
Old man nearly fell over
What are you doing man?

And that’s when I realized
And that’s when I realized
You have to be careful
And that’s when I realized
You have to look after yourself
Pay attention

Trying not to die

You put your hand where you shouldn’t put it
You put your hand in a place where you shouldn’t put your hand
What are you gonna do now?

A place where your hand shouldn’t be
Whatcha gonna do now?
Where you gonna put your hand?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?

Time is ticking
You might be left alone
Just you
How you gonna get yourself out of this situation?
I know what I can do

I can read
Find all the information
All the things that will keep me safe from harm
I can look up things on things on the internet
Download all of the manuals
And find out all the things that I need to find out
‘Cause next time, next time
I will be prepared

And that’s ‘cause I realized
And that’s ‘cause I realized
You have to be careful
And that’s ‘cause I realized
You have to look after yourself
Pay attention

Trying not to die

It’s bad, it’s good
It feels just like it should
And it kind of fits with my thinking bits like I never knew it would
It’s bad, it’s good
And I think it’s understood
Bad, good, good, bad
It’s bad, it’s good
Let’s go!

Listening to the radio
Getting ready for a show
Rocking out at festivals
Eating fruit and vegetables
Parties
In the nude

I am really glad that I am me
And not you

It’s bad, It’s Good
It feels just like it should
And it kind of fits with my thinking bits like I never knew it would
It’s bad, it’s good
And I think it’s understood
Bad, good, good, bad
It’s bad it’s good
Let’s go!

Chocolate cakes in animal shapes
Pushing Otto in the lake
Hiding forks in Astrid’s bed
Kissing boys and getting wet
Movies
Skating
Piercing
Bowling
Punching
Singing and strumming
Drumming and coming

I am really glad that I am me
And not you

It’s bad, It’s Good
It feels just like it should
And it kind of fits with my thinking bits like I never knew it would
It’s bad, it’s good
And I think it’s understood
Bad, good, good, bad
It’s bad it’s good

I didn’t mean to leave you waiting
I closed my eyes, I saw you shiver
I really stuffed it up
I thought we’d always be
The prince and princess of rock and roll

You had so much hope in your eyes
I didn’t want to disappoint you
You were so nice to me
I thought we’d always be
The prince and princess of rock and roll

You’re my best friend
My only family
My blood, my memories and dreams

Look all around at our creation
And what we make when together
And in my heart I know
We’re always gonna be
The prince and princess of rock and roll
You mean so much to me
Please can we be
The prince and princess of rock and roll

Get your finger out of my ass
Get your finger out of my ass
Get your finger out of my ass
Because I wanna sit down

If only there had been a cancelation
If only I had kept my concentration
Supposed to be my birthday celebration
On that day

If only we had know what was awaiting
If only the train driver started braking
The trouble is when lions are escaping
It’s not safe

Four people was a family
Too bad for us they died
One day we’ll be together
Things should’ve turned out better
Things would’ve turned out better
If these things weren’t so big and heavy
Weren’t so big and heavy
BIg and heavy
BIg and heavy

Hello children we’re your aunt and uncle
We’re here to help you wipe your tears away
Oh yeah
We only heard yesterday

I am Klaus
And I am Bertha
You better listen to what we say
Oh yeah
Cause now we’re here to stay

So take that dumb look off your face
You stupid insignificant child
Before I make you regret the day
That you were ever born

Little boy, bring me wine from the cellar
Little girl, you can rub my feet
Oh yeah
And fix us something to eat

So here we are, we’re the perfect family
All smiling and the house so neat
Oh yeah
Our little dream’s complete

So get to work you lazy child
If you know what’s good for you
I’ll give you something to cry about
I’ll push you down the stairs

We’ll poke out your eyes dirty sticks
You’ll never see the light of day
We’ll slice out your organs and cut off your hair
And sell them to the highest bidder

Otto, I think it’s time leave now
This place is not our home anymore
So pack your bag and meet me at the gate at midnight

Astrid, Is this a secret?
Yes, Otto. It’s a secret.

Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
It’s midnight

We run, we run, we run away
We run, we run, we run away

We run away to our future
I wonder where it’s gonna be
We’ll find a new place called home
I guess I’ll have to wait and see
I’m gonna make all this better
I know that you will show me how
With me you’re never alone
It’s better already now

We run, we run, we run away
We run, we run, we run away

We hitched a ride with a farmer
He took us on the Autobahn
I stole some food from a store
We ate illegal jam from a jar
We broke into a butcher
The hanging pigs gave me a fright
At night we slept on the floor
We held each other really tight

We rode three days on a pony
He was grumpy when he got sore feet
We swam across a big stream
Astrid caught a fish with her teeth
Two whole weeks it was snowing
Climbing slowly to the mountain top
I chopped some wood and made skis
It was good until we tried to stop

We run, we run, we run away
We run, we run, we run away

Slow down
C’mon, we’ve gotta keep moving
We run, we run, we run away
My foot is sore. I’ve got a blister
Jump on my back, I will carry you

We run, we run…

I don’t where to take us now
All these trees, they look the same to me
I had a dream we’d find a place to call our own
Can’t go back and I’m to blame

All I hear are scary sounds
And the darkness, it comes over me
I could get eaten by a spider or a lion
No one would know, we’re all alone

Sleep
Look up in the sky
I’m an angel made of gold
And I’ll watch over you and all of the children in the animal garden

Sleep
Under the bush nearby
I can see you through the leaves
And I’ll watch over you and all of the children in the animal garden

Go to sleep
Go to sleep

Astrid! It’s ok, we can go to sleep here under the bush and we’ll be safe
We’re not safe. If we don’t get out of here we’re gonna be dead!
But the angel said she would look after us
What angel?
The beautiful golden angel in the sky!
That’s not an angel. Otto, that’s Berlin!

Bright lights and people in the street
Late nights and all the candy you can eat
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city

U-Bahn, the trains go underground
On time, You never wait around
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the City, Yeah!

Loud gigs and everybody shouts
Cool kids and they’re just making out
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city

Big stores, it’s where you buy your jeans
People, they’re dancing like machines
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the City, Yeah!

I’m hearing explosions
Fireworks in the sky
Someone is shouting
The wall’s coming down

People are running
Party in every street
I’m feeling tingles
Hold my hand tight
Don’t know what to do
I’ll stay right by your side
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Now we’re on our way
We’re on our way

Running and laughing
Been waiting so long
Screaming and crying
I’m where I belong

Drinking and singing
We smash through the wall
The whole world is watching
As we let it fall

Things will never be the same again
And I was there at the party
And we won’t ever be afraid again
And I was there my life just starting

And all the people
So excited
We always dreamed that
We would see the day that things would change

A new beginning
This is freedom
We always dreamed that
We would see the day that things would change

On that day our lives changed forever
And it’s all thanks to me ‘coz I am so clever
We were there

Some people live
Stumbling in the darkness
Moving through the world, they look for answers

Lost little sheeps
Walking near the cliff top
If it was quite windy, they’d go over

You’re not one of those
You know who you are
You don’t even care what people think

The time has arrived
Hold on to your body
We believe you’re ready

It’s a rock ‘n roll concert
And I’m a rock ‘n’ roll monster
I can’t control my hands and feet
When I hear that monster beat

Somewhere in the city
Lives a Monster in a hole
He likes to party
He’s hairy, he’s scary
He loves rock ‘n roll

Early in the morning,
Noises stir him from his dreams
He hears something in the distance
Hey wakes up and he screams

It’s a rock ‘n roll concert
And I’m a rock ‘n’ roll monster
I can’t control my hands and feet
When I hear that monster beat

He’s so excited
He puts on his Monster sneakers
He knows what he’s hungry for
It’s drums, guitars
Coming through the speakers

Stomping on the cars
As he’s walking though the street
He finds DIE ROTEN PUNKTE
And the music he’s gonna eat

It’s a rock ‘n roll concert
And I’m a rock ‘n roll monster
I can’t control my hands and feet
When I hear that monster beat

I like to take my monster out
I like to make him dance

Oh, no too much rock
Oh, no too much roll
Rock ‘n’ Roll Monster

It’s a rock ‘n roll concert
And I’m a rock ‘n’ roll monster

Oooh…Monster
Rock ‘n’ Roll Monster

I was alone listening to sad songs
They were soppy
Even my hands were confused
They went floppy
I saw you selling records on the street
You liked Bowie
I hope I don’t mess this up
Let’s not take it slowly

Don’t leave me hangin’
Let’s get Rock Bangin’

I’m lookin’ at you, you’re lookin’ at me
We’re crazy, Rock Bang!
Wanna do it again, Wanna do it again
Get ready, Rock Bang!

We stayed out dancing till the sun came up
Now I’m hungry
Then you walked me to my door
I had no money
I can’t wait until tomorrow night
Was she winking?
There’s just one thing I want to do
I like your thinking

Don’t leave me hangin’
Let’s get Rock Bangin’

I’m lookin’ at you, you’re lookin’ at me
We’re crazy, Rock Bang!
Wanna do it again, Wanna do it again
Get ready, Rock Bang!

Oh, Oh, Oh. Rock Bang!
Oh, Oh, Oh. Rock Bang!

Wanna do it again, wanna do it again,
Wanna do it again
I like your fingers

Wanna do it again, wanna do it again,
Wanna do it again
I love your smell

Wanna do it again, wanna do it again,
Wanna do it again
Here comes your friends

Wanna do it again, wanna do it again,
Wanna do it again
Let’s show and tell

I’m lookin’ at you, you’re lookin’ at me
We’re crazy, Rock Bang!
Wanna do it again, Wanna do it again
Get ready, Rock Bang!

Oh, Oh, Oh. Rock Bang!
Oh, Oh, Oh. Rock Bang!

Young silver machine, ready for work
FedEx-ed to the jungle by a lazy clerk
Instead of living in Detroit putting on tyres
He put his head out the box
He was surrounded by lions

He said…

Ich bin nicht ein Roboter
I am a lion
Raar

He felt really great
They made him one of the pack
But the people came got him
And they took him right back
(He wasn’t happy in back in that factory)
He said, “I don’t belong here
It’s a terrible bungle
I wanna go home
I’m the king of the jungle”

“Are you listening to me…”

Ich bin nicht ein Roboter
I am a lion
Raar

It’s the music of the future
It’s the music of industry
And it makes me want to dance

I meet new people all the time
I spend most of my day on-line
And there’s a lot of really nice people out there
But the problems in the world, they don’t care

I wanna meet a punk rock girl
Who thinks about the problems in the world
She’ll love The Ramones, Iggy Pop and The Clash
But she’ll hate drinking caffeine or alcohol or eating animals or smoking hash

I know we’ll meet some day
And to you, this song, I’ll play
You’re my Straight Edge Girl
My Straight Edge Girl

You look great in tight black jeans
And you always vote for the greens
You read Naomi Klein’s “No Logo”
Listening to The Cramps and doing the Pogo

You tell your papa you won’t go fishin’
Cause you’re more interested in vegetable nutrition
You play bass in a new-wave band
And you draw a big black X on your hand

You’re cool and you’re thoughtful
You’re strange and you’re divine
You’re political and you’re beautiful
You’re straight-edge and you’re mine

I meet new people all the time
But none of them are you and I’m still
Waiting for the day we meet I’m
Dreaming of the beans we’ll eat

I know we’ll never fall apart
You’ll make a party in my heart
Listening to all your favourite bands
Staying up and holding hands

I know we’ll meet some day
And to you, this song, I’ll play
You’re my Straight Edge Girl
My Straight Edge Girl

Oh my god, yeah
Oh my god, yeah
Oh my god, yeah
Oh my god, yeah

Early misty morning
November morning
A house in the woods
And the rain is falling on the house
And a big black crow feeds on a mouse

Inside her bedroom window
Sleeps the Girl with long black hair
She sits up in her bed
Stomach like a bucket of eels
She knows it’s her birthday
It’s her birthday and she’s twelve
She wants to know if her parents are awake

Noises from parent’s room
Floorboards creaking
Something knocks against the wall
Bedsprings are wheezing
Like an old man dying

She slowly opens the heavy door
And she sees her Papa’s hairy sweating back
His hands hold her Mama down
But the Mama, she is smiling
Smiling like an angel

Is Mama happy or she in pain?
Breath puffing out like a steam train
And the train it comes along the track
‘Cause there ain’t gonna be no turning back

And The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today
No The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today

Playing by herself in the attic
Sits the Girl with the long black hair
With her little rag doll

Her mama climbs up the old wooden ladder
And says, “Happy birthday my darling”
“We’re going to the zoo”
“We’re leaving for the station”
“Get ready, and your brother too”
“And you should stitch that little rag doll”
“Or her arm will surely fall apart”

And the Girl says, “I will, Mama”
But she knows she won’t
She likes it just the way it is
It’s crooked mouth
It’s button eyed stare

The Boy is playing with his train set
He dreams of being an engine driver
He pushes that train
Through a tunnel
Round the bend
He’s making noises
Of the train

It’s time to go
He doesn’t hear her
We’re going to the zoo

And he can’t wait to ride that train
‘Cause he wants to see the lion’s mane
And the train it comes along the track
But there ain’t gonna be no turning back

And The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today
No The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today

The family walks to the station
A short cut through the woods

Hand in hand, through the fog
Hand in hand, as family’s do
Hand in hand, through the mud
Hand in hand, to the zoo

The Girl holds one arm of the little rag doll
And the Mother holds the other
The little rag doll is being pushed and pulled
And one of its button eyes falls off into a puddle
And the girl, with her other hand squeezes the Boy’s hand too tight

And the Boy is thinking about the lions
And he feels the sharp pain and pulls her long black hair
And the Girl squeals and says, “It’s my birthday!”
Yeah, and the Papa says, “Hurry or we’re gonna miss the train”
And the Papa slaps the back of the Boy’s head
And says, “Leave your sister alone!”

Yeah well…
The Boy puts his hands in his pockets
And then he kicks a stone
And then he spits on the ground

And he can’t wait to ride the train
From his Papa’s hand he feels the pain
And the train it comes along the track
‘Cause there ain’t gonna be no turning back

And The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today
No The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today

As the family come out through the woods
The fog is getting thicker and they can hardly see
The Papa steps out on to the tracks
The Mama steps out on to the tracks

The train is coming ’round the bend
The Driver is thinking of his wife
As he reaches down for his lunch
He unwraps the package
It’s a cold Weisswurst
His favorite sausage
His mouth is wet
He can’t wait to take a bite

And the Girl with the long black hair
She can hear that train
And she looks up, but she can’t see

The Driver licks his lips
He straightens up as he opens his mouth
But he sees the family on tracks
He drops his sausage to the dirty floor

The Girl, she screams
And yanks on the arm of her little rag doll
To pull her mother back to safety
But the stitches fall away
And the arm comes off in her mother’s hand
And the Girl hears her mother’s voice
“You should stitch that little rag doll”
“Or her arm will surely fall apart”

The Mother falls forward with the Papa
The Driver sees the Mama’s eyes
The Driver’s thinking of his wife
His wife home safe in their house
He pulls on the break, but it’s too late

And as the breaks were screaming
The Girl with the long black hair just stood there
And in her hand was the little rag doll with the missing arm

And she runs home through the woods
Dragging the boy behind her
She runs up the stairs to her parent’s room
Puts on her Mother’s dressing gown and climbs into her bed

The Boy moves his single bed
Scraping it along the floor into her room

The Boy crawls into his sister’s bed
And they fall into a deep sleep
A year long nightmare

A nightmare of lions and trains
A nightmare of blood and rain
The Red Dots…and the little rag doll

And the people in Spandau wonder, “Where’s that train?”
As they stand on the platform in the pouring rain
The train doesn’t come along the track
And there ain’t gonna be no turning back

And The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today
No The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today

The game of life can be hard for all of us
Just living each day knowing who to trust
But, I’ll teach you this song
And you can all sing along
Because tomorrow, you could be stabbed
Get cancer, pushed of a cliff
Or even hit by a bus

So!
Drink, drink, drink while you can
Leave all your troubles behind
Don’t be pains in the asses
Let’s fill up our glasses
You’ll be dead for a very long time!

I met a stripper called Gina from Italy
Who jumped out of cakes, in the nude, quite athletically
One night while the party was waiting
Inside, she was suffocating
The chef had iced her in, a little too, enthusiastically

So!
Drink, drink, drink while you can
Leave all your troubles behind
Don’t be pains in the asses
Let’s fill up our glasses
You’ll be dead for a very long time!

I knew a fire-eater from Bavaria, his name was Fritz
He liked to breathe his hot breath on my ass and tits
But at the circus one evening
His lunch kept repeating
And he blew his beautiful tattooed body to bits

So!
Drink, drink, drink while you can
Leave all your troubles behind
Don’t be pains in the asses
Let’s fill up our glasses
You’ll be dead for a very long time!

I had a cousin, elephant-keeper was his occupation
His animal suffered from extreme constipation
He gave him 60 litres of prune juice
He looked behind but Dumbo let loose
And he was buried alive under his bowel evacuation

So!
Drink, drink, drink while you can
Leave all your troubles behind
Don’t be pains in the asses
Let’s fill up our glasses
You’ll be dead for a very long time!

My music is everywhere
My words are everywhere
My body is everywhere
My face everywhere

I go to the airport, pick up a magazine
And my face is on the front cover
But there’s all these arrows pointing to my face
Saying nasty things about me
Like I drink to much alcohol
And taking to many drugs
And having too much fun
Well you know where you can stick your arrows

Your newspaper cuts
Will never hurt me

My music is everywhere
My words are everywhere
My body is everywhere
My face everywhere

Yeah, well I’m in the recording in the studio
And the engineer is reading the newspaper
And I see my face on page 3
Yeah, it says I’ve got an eating disorder
And it’s making me depressed

So I don’t eat a Schnitzel or Beef Burger
But look how happy I am

Your newspaper cuts
Will never hurt me

People, are you believing
What your reading. Oh no
Why do they need to
Keep repeating that misleading photo

Doesn’t matter anyway
Yeah, we’ve got each other
You and me Otto, against the world
Yeah, and no one can take that away from us

My music is everywhere
My words are everywhere
My body is everywhere
My face everywhere

But every now and then
They don’t completely screw it up
We were in New York City
About to play on live TV
And we’re standing backstage
I can hear this guy say “Ladies and Gentlemen”
“Would you please make some noise…”
“For the Best Band In The World!”

And that’s true

Hey there people got a message for you
Listen up now, tell you what to do
It won’t take long to make a decision
