Today I'm quitting the job, God, I hate the rut
Just a few more days, man, I swear, my head'll burst
Always just running on rules and lists
I wanna, right in the middle of snapshots
grab life once and be gone
Far away, where mistakes are forgivable
To the place we thought we'd be at thirty when we were sixteen
No hassle and crap, like we wouldn't even notice
Everyday life's quicksand, the harder you step, the deeper you sink
Just living from reminder to reminder
And paying installments for two weeks in Mallorca once a year
I'm out, I can already see a start after the end
No matter how long the fall, as long as the landing holds
Maybe Saint-Tropez, maybe far beyond the mountains
Maybe just Bielefeld, but where a grin still counts
Finally begun to stop
And today I woke up
Sunbeams on my face
I freeze the world and I'm off and away
And today I woke up
Sunbeams on my face
I freeze the world and I'm off and away
They always want more, it's hard to satisfy
I'm so used to the racket, silence is noise to me now
Can't and won't do this anymore
Locked inside factory halls as if
life sped past me on the assembly line
Day in, day out, in and out
Endless dog life, nah, I broke out
As long as rent's paid, as long as there's a daycare spot
Stutter through the lease, every morning from seven on
Live Groundhog Day, pray to Jesus, stay loyal to the wife
Hard-working and productive, the German dream lives on
From today on I'm out, time to go
As far as it carries me, burned bridges mark the path
Doing my own thing, no weight to carry
The trick's to breathe, just don't ask for the answer
Finally started to stop
And today I woke up
Sunbeams on my face
I freeze the world and I'm off and away
And today I woke up
Sunbeams on my face
I freeze the world and I'm off and away
And today I woke up
Sunbeams on my face
I freeze the world and I'm off and away
And today I woke up
Sunbeams on my face
I freeze the world and I'm off and away
