Oversleepers International - Emperor X

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
