Now pull yourself together Pour a drink, light a cigarette And tell me about the weather And how the sky turns violet Every time we collide And how it all gets messed up Every time we collide 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 we collide We radiate the brightness Every time we collide 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 we collide Every time we collide 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
