From heaven sent A pretty face and a voice like honey You jumped into entertainment A dream to get love, fame and money So to be heard You sang the lyrics someone lent Stuffed with all these pretty words But you had no idea what they meant But people were thrilled by your elegant monotone voice By your lovely but so vacant voice Because the spirit of the lyrics Never entered your mind The spirit of the lyrics Never entered your mind Your trembling lips and eyes so blue Made them believe that what you were singing Was all self experienced and true But for you these rhymes had no meaning No matter if the tune that you were performing Was intended to be sad or gay With your tedious way of singing You made them swiftly sound all the same Still people were thrilled by your elegant monotone voice By your lovely but so vacant voice Because the spirit of the lyrics Never entered your mind The spirit of the lyrics Never entered your mind But you never found (The spirit of the lyrics) And you never will (The spirit of the lyrics) You were never near (The spirit of the lyrics) Because you never cared But you never found (The spirit of the lyrics) And you never will (The spirit of the lyrics) You were never near (The spirit of the lyrics) Because you never cared But why? You didn’t even try Needless to say you’re not the passionate one But did you even realize that you were singing about love? And why (The spirit of the lyrics) Didn’t you sing about your life? (The spirit of the lyrics) The words you sing don´t mean a thing, if you don't comprehend (The spirit of the lyrics) So write your own words from your heart (The spirit of the lyrics) and it will all make sense

Regrets 03:38
When I wake up with a feeling of - maybe regret - oh no it’s not regret I was snide and made a lot of sense, to myself – oh yeah that really helps But was I hearing a single word of what you said? – ‘cause that would really had helped In the holy war of words Intersubjectively absurd And now when I reminisce On making use of the weeklies relationship guides What to say? What to throw? I don’t know Granted that I’m truly naïve in this special field – a forlorn amateur But you seem fully determined to have me revealed - as this whole dust-up’s auteur Hey, I see the raised eyebrow I’m not winning prizes here right now And now when I’ve reminisced I've started rereading the weeklies relationship guides What to say? What to throw? I don’t know When I wake up with that feeling of… regret

Another day goes by Without you asking why You live until you die You’re in a hamster wheel When did you start to feel Is this all that’s real? When did life ever make you smile? Feels like you’re spread too thin Feels like the world’s sneering Heads you lose - tails they win You’re on the waiting list You’re making a poor fist As you go round the twist So you're under the weather There's a way to feel better Lock your troubles up to perk Set your reward system to work And spend some money on yourself Just pick something pricy from the shelf So what if you overdraw a bit? A good buy shall be a hit To your wallet To your wallet To your wallet To your wallet Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine Do you get deadly bored Lamenting life’s dischord? Get your serotonin restored Spending your money like its going out of style will have you rolling in the aisles Lock your troubles up to perk Set your reward system to work And spend some money on yourself Just pick something pricy from the shelf So what if you overdraw a bit? A good buy shall be a hit To your wallet To your wallet To your wallet To your wallet (A hit) To your wallet (A hit) To your wallet (A hit) To your wallet (A hit) To your wallet Just spend it! Before It burns A hole In your pocket Before It burns A hole In your pocket It Will burn A hole In your capitalism-invigorating soul

When you say (when you say) People reproduce the discourse by the naming of things And you say (liebster feind) We're the ones who see the whole and complex nature of this That's when all the commoners are less than impressed That's when you're undressed You're the chauvinist When you say (when you say) People let their own emotions get better of them And you say (liebster feind) We're the liberators of your clouded minds my dear friends That's when all the commoners are less than impressed That's when you're undressed You're the chauvinist Common nonsense Balderdash Give us some meaning Give us some meaning Give us some meaning nothing less Or give us your home address That's when all the commoners all less than impressed That's when you're undressed
