Mental Destruction

Vorbemerkung: hier weiche ich von meiner normalen "M+F"-Notation ab, da es den Text zu sehr zerreißen würde. Stattdessen gilt: Die in Klammern gesetzten Passagen sollten von der Frauenstimme gesungen werden.

I am sitting on my sofa
staring at the winter sky
And my mind just keeps on running
I neither know how or why.
I feel down, like Tilo Shepherd,
and my soul is torn and bent
Even music doesn't sooth me
Will this torture ever end?
And I'm wondering
(Why are you sitting here?)
Just wondering
(What are you living for?)
I don't know what to do
(Why does this happen?)
I'm getting more and more confused
(Why does this happen to you?)
I look at my budgies
(They cannot help you)
I look at my CD collection
(They cannot help you)
I look at my pictures on the wall
(That doesn't help you either)
What shall I do?
(No one can tell you)
Waiting here in desparation
(No one can help you)
Till my next reincarnation
(Is that really helpful?)
I am sitting on my sofa
looking at the winter sky
And my mind is slowly cracking
(Don't know how, don't know why)
Oh my my, this is confusion
hihihi hahaha, good joke, yes?
and I'm turning on my stereo
(and you listen to a Swiss band singing "Alles bgelt")
and I start eating up my CDs
this is so funny
hi ho hi ho, out of my mind I go
(Snow White will not be amused)
hehehe, just kidding
I'm quite normal - noooooormall!
(You? Really?)
Just spent too much time in the 20th century!
(Bad habit)
Aaaaahhhhhhhh! Nooooooo!
(M+F: That's it)
