My brother is a farmer so you
Ask him what to do
The rain's about to harm you
"build a fence" he says to you
So you build a fence and wonder
Why you're slowly sinking in
About the chief commander suggesting
You should swim
And that's the very moment when you
Stop and start to fear:
"It's strange in here"

Now the whole place around you
Is drowning in a flood
While the military's aiming at the
Sky that wouldn't stop
My sister is a lawyer so you
Ask her what to do
Your boy's drowned right before you "let
Me sue" she says to you
And that's the very moment when you
Stop and start to fear:
"It's strange in here"

Now the whole city's floating
Gently towards the sea
You're turning to the President: "Ah Sir
Don't let this be"
He chuckles once and chuckles twice
And then begins to shout:
"Let's bring them clouds to justice
Track em down and smoke em out"
And that's the very moment when you
Stop and start to fear:
"It's strange in here"

When I was born I felt a tremble in my hand
And in short time it started to expand
It travelled up my arm and
Settled in my shoulder
From there it filled my chest and scared
My heart and took it over
Ever since I'm far from sleep I walk
The roads at night and weep:
"Peace, please!"

Soon after I would shake from head to toe
I left my cardboard house in spite
Of not knowing where to go
I thought I might find silence if
I'd move at such fast pace
So the shaking would sort of
Discharge somewhere along the race
But the more I walked the more I ran
The more things got out of hand god damn!

Under these circumstances it was hard
To find a job let a lone to touch someone so
I'd given up the thought
But then one day I pointed out
A figure in the dark
Shaking just as much as me so
I offered him my heart
And now guess what happened
There was an earthquake
And the whole world fell apart

Once she had a dream from
Which she never would awake
She feared that if she'd touch the ground
Her hands would start to shake
Nothing ever fades away her
Kingdom knows no time the kick of any given
Kick is perfectly designed
And she can pull it out any time
(that's a bit like singing)

The city that she's living
In never would insist
On anything of everything
It costs her nothing to exist
Freedom, freedom freedom
Free - chains are in demand
When there is no necessity in
Using your own hands
Well, maybe that's the reason
Why they're shaking

Now you're banging on her door
Asking her to step outside
"Come on girl, you must awake
Go get yourself a life!"
After endless minutes she
Answers finally: "maybe
You know who you are
But still you search for me
Craving for the miracles of my uncertainty"

"You have so much, I miss so much
But what you miss is what you have"
She says frome the outside it's you
Yelling back: "Oh, don't make me laugh!"
When in fact you know she's true everything
You need out there you need
'Cause it's not you

"I'll let you part of my dream
If I can be part of
Yours" Bob Dylan said that
"I'll let you part of my dream
If I can be part of your reality"

I said that
