CH please put aunt Lilith to the test
she’s a fake, she’s not going to die
please slip it into her glass
and she will tell you everything’s alright
you told us in tears you started chemotherapy
now we know, you were just shaving your head
the time has come to take you apart
to see yourself as you really are
the brain scan showed
well there ain’t no tumor in your head
you made us really upset
please put aunt Lilith to the test! hey CH
the get-well cards, mini flower bouquets
we sent them, you had nothing to say
and now there’s an elephant in the hospital room
you call the nurse and just tell her to shoot it
oh please put aunt Lilith to the test!

can aeroplanes fly backwards?
can the sky just break in two?
you need to get your head straight
and can astronauts text in space?
can a robot do your job?
you keep on living inside a dream
can a bird fly with a broken wing?
can you see England from France?
don’t you want to be with a person like me?
medicate yourself with laughter
finish your supper, I know they’re after me
they really hate me
barricade your door from disaster
finish this song, I know they have the key
can aeroplanes fly backwards?
can you heal from PTSD?

never mind your shoes

do-da-da-do-da-da-do-da-da
never mind your shoes when you go into the working room
never mind your shoes, she will untie your shoes for you
never mind your shoes, never mind, she’s just a prostitute
and I’m leaving for the top
and I’ll meet you at the top, I’ll meet you there tonight
we’ll have a few drinks and we’ll have a real good time
do-da-da-do-da-da-do-da-da
never mind your shoes when you’re strapped to a metal bed
never mind your shoes when you’re wallet is in her hands
never mind your shoes, never mind, she’s just a cokehead, man
and I’m leaving for the top
and I’ll meet you at the top, I’ll meet you there tonight
we’ll have a few drinks and we’ll have a real good time
do-da-da-do-da-da-do-da-da
never mind your shoes when you go into the living room
never mind your shoes when you knew she would really find out soon
that the truth is out when she starts to shout at you
and you knew from the start you would really break her heart
now you could try to win her back if you put yourself for once in her shoes

all the redmen are waving a white flag
walk the Navajo, safely to the end
they’ll heal you, painting in the sand
don’t let this Captain take command
CH Oooohhh aaahhh oohhh - they’re taking down the riflemen!
Oooohhh aaahhh oohhh – they’ll fire when they see you again
in his heart, a seven-pointed star
get the head of the white Confederate
he kneels down, down on your ground
the Navajo are in the lost and found CH (2x)

stone record guy doing 88 skips
she gets a micro-injection for beautiful lips
a totally blind wife baking chocolate chips
a nervous dude lines up girls in a row
CH I know what you want
an astrophysics degree
but I saw that you flinched
and took it back to the streets
joking with people in a positive way
got 11k likes, I don’t think it’s so great
he’s hopping freight trains and you say that it’s cool
user60 announced he is starting to shoot CH
jaded old man, can’t see you what I mean?
you started wasting your time and forgetting your dreams
jaded sad girl, can’t you see what I mean?
we’ve got to wake up before the alarm will go off,
we’ve got to take out the trash and
then a new life begins, an empty recycle bin

look for a girl, baton in her hands
she stands --- shoulder to shoulder
the looks of that girl staring back at me
unease, ‘cause I am much older
I know you slept with everyone
in the marching band, somebody told me
shows no signs of despair, majorette
CH blue is the color of the patriotic color palette
nobody told her
red is the color of hardiness and valour
oh yeah, as you grow much older
and then, --- the sun will be fading away
and you --- will twirl and turn in your grave
they are lining the street, keeping their eyes
on your thighs --- you show a lot of skin, girl
they measured your chest, your waist, hips and girth
and prayed you would not grow older
I know you kept a secret no one knew
but now I do, somebody told me
you were a stranger to your family, majorette CH
