You see in your newspaper that
everything is getting out of hand
you decide to stop reading because
you feel the despair setting in
so you smoke a joint
and forget what you want to forget
you watch television
and ignore real life like that
so just pretend your nose is bleeding
just pretend your nose is bleeding
just pretend your nose is bleeding
you decided to go vote because
you didn’t want to let it affect you
after all, you wouldn’t want them
to decide something without you, right?
but do you stay awake
to check what they are doing?
they screw over your best friend
before you’re able to turn around
so just pretend your nose is bleeding
just pretend your nose is bleeding
just pretend your nose is bleeding
oh I got into some trouble
and her look was ice cold
no she could no longer stand it
and you know what she said?
you follow your dick around
she said, where were you last night?
you made me wait in our bed
and oh I know where you just came from
you were with that slut again
you follow your dick around
oh no, oh no
my god, it’s all over
oh no, oh no
she’s no longer mine
oh no, oh no
I can’t believe it’s really over
tell me what still has a point
nothing but emptiness without her
and must I go on the way I’m living
oh what she says is true
I follow my dick around
I follow my dick around
oh no, oh no
my god, it’s all over
oh no, oh no
she’s no longer mine
oh no, oh no
I can’t believe it’s really over
[instrumental break]
oh no, oh no
my god, it’s all over
oh no, oh no
she’s no longer mine
oh no, oh no
I can’t believe it’s really over
It’s over
It’s time
over
don’t let yourself get screwed over
don’t just stand still but
do something, aha
don’t let yourself get screwed over
don’t just stand still but
do something
ooh,
look around you
see what’s happening
make sure you stay awake
you
walked
walked
walked
walked away
open wounds they say
heal with time
but tell me it gets better
and reassure me
oh, that it got this bad
every woman has your face
and everything calls your name
even the silence
I can never never never
never never never
no never never never
sleep without you again
without you
never sleep without you again
never sleep without you again
ooh
never sleep without you again
crying no longer works
I jerk myself off stoically
alone in bed I’m exhausted
and I miss you
I can never never never
never never never
no never never never
sleep without you again
without you
never sleep without you again
never sleep without you again
ooh
never sleep without you again
(never sleep without you again)
you thought I was different
a mistake, a misunderstanding
but I did really love you
and I miss you
oh, that it got this bad
every woman has your face
and everything calls your name
even the silence
she lays her cool hands on my forehead
and gives me a brief investigative look
she helps me drink a bit of water
oh, nurse, stand near me a bit longer
night nurse, what would I do without you
night nurse, I’m burning inside
night nurse, do something about the pain
night nurse, what am I without all your care
night nurse, will I reach the morning
night nurse, do something about the pain
I’m laying here shaking and sweating
visions, a fever and goosebumps
oh, nurse, tell me, am I going to live
hold me for a moment and I’ll manage
night nurse, what would I do without you
night nurse, I’m burning inside
night nurse, do something about the pain
night nurse, what am I without all your care
night nurse, will I reach the morning
night nurse, do something about the pain
night nurse (nurse)
night nurse (nurse)
night nurse … come lay with me for a bit
night nurse (nurse)
night nurse, what would I do without you
night nurse, I’m burning inside
night nurse, do something about the pain
night nurse, what am I without all your care
night nurse, will I reach the morning
night nurse, do something about the pain
you know what it is, I’m getting worried
you say you can’t live without me
you say that I’m your sun in the morning
your warm coat against the cold
but love, I can’t always satisfy your appetite
or open all doors for you
I’m not the man you’d like to have
I’m not the man you’re looking for
figure it out yourself
figure it out yourself
figure it out yourself
figure it out yourself
you want me to carry you
from here to the horizon
you want an answer to all your questions
a bandage on every wound
you’re looking for shelter against the rain
a handkerchief for every tear
and I could give you mine
but not a meaning for your life
figure it out yourself
figure it out yourself
figure it out yourself
figure it out yourself
let me sleep and keep the curtains closed
tears in my eyes from the morning light
mist in my head and a leather tongue
I wanted to sleep early but there I went again
one beer here, two whiskeys there
dancing with a lady in the late night bar
just when I go home she follows along
she gives me a questioning look and, oh, I don’t say no
one night alone
one night alone
don’t come knocking, the door is locked
let me sleep for a change, or I’ll break down
one night alone
one night alone
with silence surrounding me, one night alone
Sylvia, Jeanette, Natalie and Fien
Elsje, Truusje, Truus, Babette, Betsie and Sabine
Greet, Magriet, Marie, Marije and Angeliene
Mies, Marjan, Marjo, Marleen and little Tine
one night alone
one night alone
don’t come knocking, the door is locked
let me sleep for a change, or I’ll break down
one night alone
one night alone
with silence surrounding me, one night alone
where has my common sense gone
what is going on with me
I’m scared
sit down for a little longer
stay until the storm is over
I’m scared
look at my hands shaking
I wish I could scream
deep under the blankets
but I can’t fall asleep
I’m scared
scared of depths and heights
from creepy things I read
I’m scared
nobody can help me
I don’t get it myself
I’m scared
panic on the inside
for beetles, snakes and spiders
I see myself fall from the tenth floor window
I’m scared
scared for you and scared for me
scared of death and scared of pain
mother keep the lights on, it’s dark in here
loads of people around me
but I still feel alone
and so scared
when I look in the mirror
and look slightly older
I get scared
afraid of what will come
and in my deepest dreams
I run for my life
but I can’t move
I’m scared
scared for you and scared for me
scared of death and scared of pain
mother keep the lights on, it’s dark in here
afraid of what will come
and in my deepest dreams
I run for my life
but I can’t move
I’m scared
scared for you and scared for me
scared of death and scared of pain
mother keep the lights on, it’s dark in here
scared for you and scared for me
scared of death and scared of pain
mommy keep the lights on, it’s dark in here
my god you’ve changed
you’re not the same anymore
you had such nice teeth
nothing left of those now
and then that look in your eyes
you look but you see nothing
I’ve always liked you
they think that you’re a douchebag
heroin goddammit
heroin goddammit
heroin is a curse
heroin goddammit
heroin goddammit
hero- who deserves that
if you were alone on the world
well, I could fit there with you
but don’t you dare imply
nobody’s looking out for you
you lie to all your friends
fuck over your own love
steal ten bucks from your mom
as long as you can have your shot
heroin goddammit
heroin goddammit
heroin is a curse
heroin goddammit
heroin goddammit
hero- who deserves that
you say you’re very worried
you’re a poor little thing
and every day you say tomorrow
I’ll quit using this garbage
well, it’s your life
and it’s your choice
but I’d sacrifice a lot
to see you smile again
heroin goddammit
heroin goddammit
heroin is a curse
heroin goddammit
heroin goddammit
that hero- who deserves that
the way you’re sitting there now
your hair almost completely white
the wrinkles on your hands
so friendly and soft
who would have ever thought?
you’ve become so different
I didn’t become what you wanted me to
but dad, listen to me
I do the things I do with my eyes closed
you had a lot of plans
but they didn’t end up happening
my performance was subpar
I never learned a lot
did everything slightly wrong
not good at relationships
I don’t stand in the line
I break away and fight my way out
and do the things I do with my eyes closed
close your jacket
wear a scarf
wash your hands first
comb your hair
stand up straight
think about your teeth
don’t hang around
go straight home
talk with two words*
politely introduce yourself
eat the way you should
and say you**
I stand here and sing
I just do my own thing
and you have to accept that
oh listen to me dad
it isn’t too late yet
because you can learn to live
I don’t know where I stand
but I don’t follow anyone
and do the things I do with my eyes closed
close your jacket
wear a scarf
wash your hands first
comb your hair
stand up straight
think about your teeth
don’t hang around
go straight home
talk with two words*
politely introduce yourself
eat the way you should
and say you**
*meaning ‘yes sir’, ‘no sir’, etc
**in Dutch it says u which is the polite version of you. The impolite version would be jij.
even if you do your best
you can’t win from the rest
they know everything better
you might as well forget it
you’ll lose anyways
even if you’re very hopeful
and think you know how to do it
you blink your eyes
and everything is over
dreams are deceptive
everything ends (everything ends)
everything ends (everything ends)
every dream fades
when you open your eyes
you lose it
there’s something you believe in
that money doesn’t buy you love
you don’t let yourself get seduced
because people who fight for power
lose it anyways (you think)
it’s not the way you think
but whatever the future brings you
even if it’s a storm or rain
love can survive it
as long as you believe
everything ends (everything ends)
everything ends (everything ends)
every dream fades
when you open your eyes
you lose it
This is an instrumental track.
