lyrics

A Real Mess
Last night’s dream still in the head, stumbling over the floor
Would have been better to stay in bed, frightened you focus the door Stretching your limbs, rubbing your eyes, finding out what belongs where Outside the shutters lie cloudless skies, inside a mess, you don’t care
But from the t.v. screen
A voice sometimes seems to scream:
“Take your life in your hand!
Take your life in your hand!” – you switch off
Opening the fridge-door, covered with grease, looking for something to eat
In front only beer cans and musty cheese, in the back something furry that once was meat
You’re lucky, today you don’t have to go out, where you feel people’s looks on your skin
Tonight’s tuna pizza you’ll order by phone, and you’ll make sure that the pizza man won’t come in
But from the t.v. screen ... – you’re too weak to switch off
Between piles of chicken bones and heaps of dirty clothes
You’ve created the streets of your quiet life through which you wander alone There are buildings of newspapers, swimming-pools of beer
Highways of old cardboard, do you really live here?
Somewhere an ice-rink of dried-up milk
Over there a mould-field shimmering like silk
You’re breeding tiny pets, growing flowers of shaving foam
In this little apartment you call your home, your home
One day your landlord with a mask on his nose
Will intrude, and men with gloves will steal your stock of beer And a vermin exterminator with a disinfectant hose
Will extinct your agricultural work of a year
“Beyond imagination” some paramedics will sneer
And they’ll carry you to hospital, out of here
“I’m not sick” you’ll cry, but that’s what they all say
You won’t know whether to be desperate or relieved
To be brought away, to be brought away ...
Take your life in your hand!
