I'm not in shape to talk about it
And I'm not in shape to cry
And since i told my friends about it
I'm not in shape to care about them anymore, 'cause...
I know, I know
Time is a heartless beast
I know, I know
I know, I know
That things may come to ends
And so it goes
Let's go outside
This used to be our favourite time
A simple step through the door could be enough
But the night looks different
With the power off
Yesterday there was a city
Today there is a city, too
I watch it through the window whereas I
Am cut off the electrical supply

The road signs
All read warnings
These hills you've seen a thousand times before
The bridges over empty creeks
The houses speak of broken dreams
These wheels lead you
Anywhere but home
The road signs all read warnings
Still you're going all the way down
Through new built city center streets
Along the place we used to meet
Like it couldn't do you any harm
Dorothy
Just clap your heels three times
And you will see there's no place left like home
Surrender! Surrender!
You will see there's no place left like home
Dorothy is driving home for Christmas
Dorothy is driving home for Christmas
The road signs all read warnings
Of different lives in different places
But they can't do you any harm
They can't do you any harm

I came into this town
To drink and to forget
Truth is I couldn't stay
After what's done and what was said
I'm the bad guy in this story
And I know how to act
But it's karma, fucking karma
I didn't quite expect
Now I'm in doubt (again)
About where to go from here
I'm tired from all the running
And I'm fucking tired of fear
But if this is what a boy does
I pack my bags and leave
So I'm free...
Of anything but me
