A Perfume 03:25
darling come with me / to lonely places like in documentaries / lets hunt with polar bears / lets sing on ice bergs where unheard voices freeze / im gonna pluck the silence / distill its blossom and then make a perfume of it / so we can take a noseful / everytime were sick but cant afford to say no darling come with me / where millions of dollars dont have a use at all / where they wont ever find us / and street noise is replaced by caterwaul / im gonna pluck the silence / distill its blossom and then make a perfume of it / so we can take a noseful / everytime were sick but cant afford to say no like it or believe it / the bite is worse than the bark / she asked if she could ask me something but there was no question mark / she went: i dont care about you being bitter / you can snarl at the one by one / but dont act surprised if once they stop you running riot with your shot gun

i'd be honest if i didnt fear your laugh / and those emerypapervoices coming back / and i would stand up if i wasnt afraid of heights / i could trip and fall and even break my neck / so maybe tomorrow / maybe tomorrow / i think tomorrow ill begin to try i would speak up if i wasnt as short as time / and if i knew where to put my shaky hands / and id say yes but i have never heard them ask / if they asked im sure i wouldnt miss that chance / but maybe tomorrow / maybe tomorrow / i think tomorrow ill begin to try tomorrow im gonna stand up at four o clock in the morning / im gonna have a healthy breakfast and then i go outide / into the forrest where i can breathe in that fresh air ive heard about on tv / and then ill write love letters / love letters to each and every girl i have ever adored / whole books of compliments that wouldnt come across my lips / and after that im gonna travel the world / and visit all the places ive always pretended to know / ill find the time / ill forget the sorrow / ill find the guts / at the latest tomorrow

a petal drifted lose / from a great magnolia bloom / your face hung in the gloom / floating white and close / we seemed alone / but another bent over you with lips of flame / unknown without a name / hated and yet my brother / your one short moan of pain / was an exorcising spell / the devil flew back to hell / we were alone again / pain / we were alone again / pain / we were alone again

On The Quiet 04:07
i already hear your handmade china heart hitting the ground / burst to thousand pieces with an earpiercing sound / so im not really sure if i should show you what i have found / does staring at each other make our heartbeat synchronize / she asked: do you think these colors all look different in all eyes / and im not really sure if that sounds foolish or very wise in my song she sleeps tonight / goes along in peace and quiet / on the quiet / on the quiet i cut her into pieces and then hide her in a song / a lovely little melody that still feels kind of wrong / cause im not really sure if i could ask you to sing along / her laughter is the chorus to a long and bitter verse / her lips are precious poetry without speaking a word / but im not really sure if im allowed to steal a kiss from her in my song she sleeps tonight / goes along in peace and quiet / on the quiet / on the quiet from time to time the echoes of her perfume cross my way / i chase them through my mind trying hard to make them stay / cause im not really sure if i am happy theyll fade away / im not really sure if im happy youll fade away

we take drugs when we are bored / we dont need to be adored / you told us to follow since we were young / you told us to follow since we were young / now we take drugs when we are bored we take drugs when we are bored / we dont need to be adored / if everyones unique then im the only one who is not / if everyones unique im the one who is not / now we take drugs when we are bored i met a girl in the waiting room / her eyes were red but still in bloom / ignorance is bliss i said / she only shrugged and shook her head / wake up / fit in / work / dont complain / love hate / hate love / just play the game / well you could earn a living but you wont learn how to live / in the end well die alone / nothing left of what weve grown / and even if it sounds unfair / the universe wont even care so we take drugs when we are bored / we dont need to be adored / if everyones unique then im the only one who is not / if everyones unique im the one who is not / now we take drugs when we are bored
