Spin in circles all day long
Spinning bottles every night
You‘re drinking to forget about
the noise of the world that keeps
Screwing you with no good reason.
And so you stumble back and forth
between her name and your desire,
transfigured past and dreadful future
If a heart beats in a chest
and no one‘s there to hear it
does it make a sound at all?
does it make a sound at all?
You put up signs that say
that you are stuck in here forever
Write down lines that are so clever
that even you won‘t understand
Take them home and kick them out
Sweet quick thrills of bitterness
Breathing in and breathing out
If anyone would care about
If a heart beats in a chest
and no one‘s there to hear it
does it make a sound at all?
does it make a sound at all?
You‘re in it for the better times.
New romance or some peace of mind.
But it won‘t find you by dawn
You better stand on you own
You ought to think twice, take your time,
Choose a way and aim your target.
Tie your shoes and raise your head
Don‘t give up before you started.
