Now pull yourself together
Pour a drink, light a cigarette
And tell me about the weather
And how the sky turns violet

Every time you collide
And how it all gets messed up
Every time you alight
Before the suns comes up at you
Like a forbidden light
I have a lame excuses
Undignified
They will do the job for you

This is the greatest trick of the century
And it runs, runs, runs like a clockwork
Why do you whisper?
Why don't you scream at me?
What a real-fake life we won't be sharing

I store you in the gift box
I take you out on a weary day
We're going deaf when fear talks
We overrule our deity

Every time you collide
We radiate the brightness
Every time you alight
From the amazing fallacy
Like a forbidden light
Behind our sweat-soaked faces
Undignified
But who on earth needs dignity?

This is the greatest trick of the century
And it runs, runs, runs like a clockwork
Why do you whisper?
Why don't you scream at me?
What a real-fake life we won't be sharing

Every time you collide
Every time you alight
Like a forbidden light
Undignified

This is the greatest trick of the century
And it runs, runs, runs like a clockwork
Why do you whisper?
Why don't you scream at me?
What a real-fake life we won't be sharing
