How to Replace It Songtext
von dEUS

Do you ever think about
How to replace it
Now the night turns in
Into a poker tell

And the day runs dry
Where once was a well
An enormous chill
That you need to quell

Hear the fishermen cough
And the seagulls cry
How they call your bluff
When you touch the sky
Do you ever feel
After setting sail
What looks far away
Doesn′t get any closer by


We don't know enough of what we
Have until it′s gone they say
It's heaven over there until the devil has another say
You pray
As if time will ever tell

Politics and sympathies 200 different kinds of glee
I wonder what the world would be
When everybody's in the sea
I wait
As if time will ever tell
Let the preachers whine
They haven′t got a clue
When the signal dies
What do I really lose

There are many ways
How to replace
These tired lines
Of these modern blues

So the summer creaks
When the daughter speaks
It is in our gift
To plug up the leaks
Do you ever think
As if time will ever tell


Garbage in the mail today I′ll send them on a holiday
Someone should tell them they should stay
Around the clock, eternity
We'll see
As if time will ever tell
Suspicion is the lightning rod, believe in you believe in god
I tried it out, I liked it not
I love your feet they make me hot
We wait
As if time will ever tell

We are careful
We′re not running to the hills
Our feathers will be
Sticking to our skin
What are we in for

When the night comes
We won't falter we had
Years of light and
We get smaller, we will win
What are we in for
Was it good for you
Cause I can hardly speak
When the flesh is strong
Then the mind is weak
Still we soldier on
We turn up the noise
So we don′t hear the gong
Of our losing streak

Do you ever think about
How to replace it
How the night turns in
Into a fire hose
For you to get
Your daily dose
You stand naked
As the cold wind blows
Leave no traces
Abandon everything
Don't replace it
You won′t miss a thing
And feel
As if time will ever tell

Tracks are covered
When you're looking back
Names and lovers
Lost under the stack
It seems
Now it's time to break the spell

Now break it up

Now break it up

As if time will ever tell
