ladies and gentlemen
lights are going out
let´s step outside and watch the city sleep
listen and remember
wait another day
we are explorers far away from home
stay for just a moment
watch the natives dance
be civilized and kiss the pretty bride
brothers and sisters
the pain is gone for now
let´s burn our books and find a little peace
sooner or later, we walk
another day we are colliders
everywhere we go
stay for just a car-crash
know your heart is weak
be primitive and wave your love goodbye
ladies and gentlemen
lights are going out
let´s step outside and watch the city sleep
preachers and sinners
we are all the same
let´s save ourselves and drink from deeper wells
hatred and compassion
wail against the walls
we are invaders trying to escape
fight for just a lifetime
count the moments lost
be so alive and cry as time goes by
ladies and gentlemen
lights are going out
let´s step outside and watch the city sleep
greater than the sun
we are greater than the sun
