Oversleepers International

Do you believe in the war?
Do you believe in the trust fall?
To the laundromat
What are we listening for?
Why are we standing around here
In this ancient laundromat?
If you think you know what love is, you don’t
I had a Visa, but they took it away
I slept all night on my flight to the USA
I got deported 'cause my choices were lame
But I took it in stride and opened my eyes to the view
Of the Atlantic and I made some dumb plans
To meet up with friends when I got to the promised land
I’d write a letter but my paralyzed hand
Lost its grip on the pen that I took to remind me of you
You know I do not yet believe
You do
I faked a pass for the Ukrainian bus
I slept through Poland and woke up drunk in Vilnius
They kicked me off, yeah, they were ruthless and tough
But I took it in stride and opened my eyes to the view
Of my flight case covered in snow
And a dead laptop shattered on the side of the road
I started shivering and got up to go
But my paralyzed hand made a fist and punched the liquid air
It’s not easy to know
It’s not easy to know
It’s not easy, no I do not
It’s not easy to know
It’s not easy to know
It’s not easy, no I do not
It’s not easy to know
It’s not easy to know
It’s not easy, but I will
I will, I will, I will
I laid my face on the deck by your shoes on the S-Bahn
Out in Lichtenberg
And asked, «Do you still believe in the war?
Do you still believe in the trust fall?»
If you still think you know what love is
You definitely don’t
