Nothing Ever Happens
Ear to the ground
Love in the back of your mind
We're on a hill, stay very still
I would love a better drug
You lucky jerk
I'm so unsettled I'm superstitious
You're so rattled you're suspicious
You lucky jerk
You left your lion on a beach in Costa Rica
It wasn't tame
I caught us kissing on a plane in California
It wasn't tame, but just the same
I would love a better drug
You lucky jerk
The Valley of the Blind
Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing
Zero
They lied about the function of the eyes
About the walks and the doors and the mirrors inside
I saw a mushroom cloud, I took a rocket's ride
And the flash of the blast really opened my eyes
I went BOOM DOOM
I've been living in a dream
Now i'm washing my hands will they ever come clean
I went BOOM DOOM
I'm not naked and free
While the eyes of the blind are staring at me
My tribe is the indifferent kind
Stubmling round in the valley of the blind
What are you afraid you'll see
If you open your eyes and take a look at me
Tell me once, tell me fifteen times
Just give me my cue and I remember my lines
‚Cause i'm quick, I'm fast and I aim to please
Tell me what you want and that's what i'll be
I went BOOM DOOM
And I heard someone laugh
„Get your ass of the floor“, as they kicked in the door
I went BOOM DOOM
We're dying like flies
But i'm hypnotyzed by the look in your eyes
My tribe is the indifferent kind
Stubmling round in the valley of the blind
What are you afraid you'll see
If you open your eyes and take a look at me
Won't you look at me
Don't you want to see
What you made of me
Look at me
Why don't you look at me
You'll see
Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing
I must have been mean or bad
I must have spoke out of turn or must have made somebody mad
Although I have never been a dominant force
I just slide along, take the easiest course
But there is nothing I wouldn‘ do
To make you see, to get through to you
I haven't crawled through a jungle of lies just to be
hypnotized by the look in your eyes
I went BOOM DOOM
All is not what is seems
I'm a fool, I've been had, I've been living in a dream
I went BOOM DOOM
I'm not naked and free
While the eyes of the blind are staring at me
My tribe is the indifferent kind
Stubmling round in the valley of the blind
What are you afraid you'll see
If you open your eyes and take a look at me
Won't you look at me
Don't you want to see
What you made of me
Look at me
Why don't you look at me
You'll see
Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing
