Purple pavement Crooked fingers knocking on windows without souls Bodies are swinging from rooftops and poles Howling through hollows Restless nights and one night cheap hotels Oh, am I only drifting to always come back? And I search for something Oh, whatever I don't really care Driving with their lights off they can be anywhere Rolling down their windows Open card with open mouths Golden teeth and golden cars You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears Still you follow my trail I'll do it all, I'll do whatever you say, God has left me anyway Love I laid in payment Stars were stained to heaven and afterglow Beneath the ashes are echoes buried alive They are howling through hollows Once we shared their temporal halls
Now their heads are hung up on walls We are ruins within ruins On every corner a gladiator is begging for another century When no one cut your tongue to know nothing and to know it all To be both the animal and god You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears Still you follow our trail We'll do it all, we'll do whatever you say, God has left us anyway You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears Still you follow our trail We'll do it all, we'll do whatever you say, God has left us anyway There are echoes in the garden Is anybody listening? There are echoes lost in the garden Is anybody listening? They whisper: The ones who are only living are the ones who are only dying
