The coast is clear, 6 a.m. is alluring
The ripe sky opens its curtains
I've been taking things for granted
Gallivanting and being selfish
I'll nip it in the bud
Today I won't make a fuss
I've zipped my mouth shut
I don't shut up
Sometimes I don't think before I speak
I won't jig
I'll turn you into porridge
Whip on the varnish
Cigarette in an ashtray
Souvenir purchased in Dubrovnik
I've pledged my loyalty
I'll never betray Prometheus
The Imhotep of dreams
The almighty father of edelweiss
Tennis is playing on the radio
It's a lovely song I know
A dwarf star blazing through the sky
A powwow in a taxi ride
I'm flummoxed by a confusing feeling
Whilst painting a portrait of melancholy
I lack the motivation, I don't have any patience
Fighting the urge, I'm defeated
I'm incomplete, searching for something
I'm back at square one, upside down
Everything's modern
But I can't escape the past
I've seen the future, the black end
The last consequence
24/7 I'm working
Working to get away from my kismet
I've done nothing with my tousled hair
I need a wake-up-call
I'm boxed in by the walls
My facade is wearing thin like a flint
My once reliable nostrum won't work
With Andrew, with Stewart
In Drew's backyard
The leitmotif is obvious, a sore thumb
Broad shoulders fill the doorway
I've ruined everything with one fell swoop
I'm the shadowboxer, drugged-up
In the neighbourhood
A ghost passing by like the traffic
In my duds, with a Biro in my pocket
I'm a nebulous figure, an aficionado of Sylvia
Magpie to the razzle dazzle, the ingle
On the rigg and furrow
At the Baboon king's beano
Stuck on a Sudoku, it's Barmecidal
Gale force winds al fresco
The current vogue, a peccadillo
Beloved movie on a VHS videotape
I'd rather be on my own than have company
Of course, life gets lonely
Living is a double-edged sword
I want to die but I want to live
At crossroads, I don't know what to make of it
I want to die but I want to live
Can't remember how long it's been like this
I don't know what I've to make of it
I want to die but I want to live!
I want to die but I want to live!
