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
_____
And today I woke up
_____
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
_____
And today I woke up
_____
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
_____
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
