1,000,000,000,000 Angels Tell Another Joke Songtext
von Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack

My name is fate
My name is neverending
Time and again
My word is wrong
My narratives are always bending

I crawl through space
Shaky, on my final breath
Time and again
With knives and chains
A trillion angels leave me for dead

Oh, cry of faith
My spirit overextending
Time and again
My body breaks
But i am always mending


My nights run long
My winged gaze surrounding
Time and again
I roll this stone
In figure-eights up mountains

But all of my miracles
They dissolve, they drain away
Without you, any day
Without you, babe

My name is fate
I plot my course unblinking
Time and again
My plans are grandiose
Though my means are shy and shrinking

My stars are crossed
My hearts are ever pounding
Time and again
I roll this stone
In figure-eights up mountains

And all of my miracles
They dissolve, they drain away
Without you, any day without you
Without you, without you, babe


So what I cast them off again!
So what I cast them off again!
I turn to earth and I descend
So what I cast them off again

The universe is dark before this day is through
I spin in place this day, this day repeats you
Inside my house I′m comatose, I'm vanishing, I′m see-through
Tomorrow is sleeping!
The future unconscious
Battered, bleeding, barely breathing, beneath you

I keep up morale but I just feel fatigue
Angels tell another joke but, man, I haven't laughed in, like, a century
No more nostalgia! No more love-letters!
No looking inwards! There's nothing to see!
But terrible daydreams of featureless deities
Reaching their arms out and clawing at me

Angels are bureaucrats, rent-seekers, parasites!
Heaven is an endless tower of middle-men with glassy eyes!
Hopeless incompetents, mild-mannered manager types
All stumbling, drowning, convalescing in eternal light!

So what I cast them off again!
So what I cast them off again!
I turn to earth and I descend!

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you, any day
Without you
Without you
Without you
Babe
