the line was dead when I called you back a breathing girl got into my head a conversation we’re not supposed to have the meaning of life is for drunken times the thing is that I’d like to know what you think of this winding road? that leads to places we will see where people are discussing our dreams and think you’ve seen me never before I’m into you, open the door and think we’ve seen the past in our dreams of scenes that flow with mixed up teens colourful fresh and colourful schemes I’m in your head, I’m one of your dreams and lift me up and bring me to peace of pieces assembled, connected to thee it’s cool and microscopical flees are buzzing around in wonderful trees yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hardly dressed girls are hovering around, hardly dressed girls the skies are so blue, I can hardly see (3x) that I’m free

hey girl you gotta let me know, you wanna stand out in the crowd? I know you wanted to be like her a movie star, a fame lovin’ girl hey girl do you know that Marilyn stands tall in Alabama? I know you wanted to be like her a movie star, a fame lovin’ girl hey girl, you’re in a hashtag battle you’re all alone when the dust has settled, I know.. {girl you gotta face the facts I’m not cool with that} (2x) girl you have to face the facts you ain’t gonna fool me like that

he met a girl with fire in her eyes the daydream world I’m in he gave her the love she wanted until she had enough of this guy and … it sure feels a lot like dynamite when you blow it up, the dots start to move away he’s now in pieces floating away in space she had him stuck in the corner for days and days you waited for the molecules to reassemble it sure feels a lot like dynamite when you blow it up, the dots start to move away

she screamed out loud when the composite came out and her only child had that look in his eyes I was out of my mind I drew a chalk outline you and I are in separate worlds I’m writing cards to cardboard cut-out girls she picked up the phone and she looked at her son her hands touching the glass only saying these words: I’m calling lawyer Dan he’s a highbrow man you and I are in separate worlds I’m looking through bars, waiting for a return I guess I broke the line the kite flew high in the sky treasures, I found those pleasures ‘till I woke up in my cell and he took his measures sergeant buzzkill

every single day there’s a man outside my house he’s looking through my window and he’s looking at my wife, but she only has an eye for the devil in disguise wolf in sheep’s clothes, can you believe that? driving in my car, I see a man with a broken heart in retrospect, she called me Jack buried in her white wedding dress at the wake of her mother she married the boy next door she likes new radical styles I know she likes new radical styles I know because she is the one for me yeah, she likes new radical styles I know because she is the one for me she likes new radical styles I know she likes new radical styles I know

the kids are out for school is over and the fields are next to explore and find out what life is all about children are learning to cheat at hide and seek the headmaster’s empty but aims to get free for his head will explode of hopes so high this time we’ll manage to get him alive trace him back to yellow photographs with husbands and wives and running in the fields turning into a flying machine with wings that won’t burn when the sun drops from the sky and as time flies I’m a teacher, I do oblige I’m a kid now, I do oblige find the car keys for the next stop “we’ll meet again” are the words of Vera Lynn on the way back pull out the grey hairs we’ll fade away in the rear-view mirror, yeah they pulled us over, we’re getting older keep your hands on the steering wheel and don’t make any furtive movement exploring kids were never there building castles in the air the boys aiming for the sky are smoking pot and getting high boring kids were always there looking in their underwear the girls shooting for the stars hide their self-inflicted scars no, not the car keys I’m not sober, no and the time is always closing in and when the night falls we break the 4th wall and we’ll meet you our long lost friends in the morning yeah I’m awake again I see myself as a chasing man pressing record for a brand new start
