Come a step closer, you'll understand
I'm in a hurry, now lend me your hand
so I can take you to your destination
A paradise of melodies and fabrications
of visions of feelings, of feelings of vision
and a sense of self you will want to christen
Take a step further, we'll understand
Just take a deep breath and loosen your hand
No bodies will faint and no faces will frown
There's only one way and we're going down
This is the future but there are no masks
Love is the answer to a question not asked
I believe
in a world you can't conceive
but you can get a grip
with a carrot and a stick
This is no advert, this is a mission
Don't you start telling me you've been conditioned
Just have to think it through to the end
With neither love nor self, well, where do you stand?
I believe
in a world you can't conceive
but you can get a grip
with a carrot and a stick
You have to do nothing, we mean that. In fact,
if you do anything it’s faith that you lack
To stay postmodern in this modern strife
All you have to do is to become post-life
I believe
in a world you can't conceive
but you can get a grip
with a carrot and a stick

You are almost pretty
and I am almost in your league
We live in almost the same city
And meet almost every week
We should really be together
is what other people seem to say
And other people are always right
Other people are always right
You are almost lonely
and I am almost capable of love
We should really be forever
is what other people seem to say
And other people are always right
Other people are always right
I am almost always faithful
and you can almost afford to be happy
So let's immediately get engaged
so we can almost marry
We should really be together
is what other people seem to say
And other people would kiss right now
Other people would kiss right now

I don't have to kill my idols
'cause they all were suicidal
I don't have to kill my idols
'cause they all were suicidal
One day they'll canonize my bones
just like they did with the Ramones
This will be me legacy
Eternalized obscurity
A fictionalized democracy
Obscuring Eternity
Subject though to royalties
I don't have to kill my idols
'cause they all were suicidal
One day they'll canonize my bones
just like they did with the Ramones
This will be me legacy
Eternalized obscurity
A fictionalized democracy
Obscuring Eternity
Subject though to royalties

A poem said "A rat done bit my sister Nell"
I saw you down there
Your hands in the air
I showed you where I live
but you didn't care
But I buried a treasure
right up on the moon
And you'll have to follow
if you wanna see it soon
I am the rich whose blessed key
can bring you to his treasure
But you will have to pass a test first
and I am the measure
I'm in love with the distance
I know its appeal
You look at it closely
and you say it's not real
But I buried a treasure
for you to find
and if you will not take it
I think I'll lose my mind
I am the rich whose blessed key
can bring you to his treasure
but you will have to pass a test first
and I am the measure
