Eine gute Nachricht English translation
von Danger Dan

I've got good news and bad news, too
First the bad bews: "Someday, we‘ll crumble to dust
We'll turn to ashes, return to the void
From whence we all came"
And now the good news: "Today’s not that day
There's still time left for you and me
And if you want, you can sleep at my place tonight."

Don't believe a preacher of any stripe
Who threatens with hell and so explains the world
They offer fear rather than consolation
It's hard enough to handle life without them
And I often can’t handle, but that’s okay since anything else would be
Way too obvious of a reaction
And what I really want to ask is, "Will you sleep at my place tonight?"


What I really want to ask is,
"Will you sleep at my place tonight?"
What I really only want to ask is,
"Will you sleep at my place tonight?"
What I really only want to ask is,
"Will you sleep at my place tonight?"

I've got some good news and some bad news, too
First the bad: "Someday, everything comes to an end
The whole entire planet is bound
To burn up in the sun."
And now the good news: "Today’s not that day
There's still time left for you and me
And if you want, you can sleep at my place tonight."

The dilemma of knowing how it all will end
Doesn't mean we shouldn’t enjoy it here
How unlikely was it that we'd meet?
A billion stars had to explode
Winning the lottery is ridiculous in comparison
And there's still time left for you and me
If you want to sleep at my place tonight


What I really want to ask is,
"Will you sleep at my place tonight?"
What I really only want to ask is,
"Will you sleep at my place tonight?"
What I really only want to ask is,
"Will you sleep at my place tonight?"

I've got good news and bad news, too
First the bad news: "Someday, we‘ll crumble to dust
We'll turn to ashes, return to the nothingness
From whence we all came"
And now the good news: "Today’s not that day
There's still time for you and me
And if you want, you can sleep at my place tonight."
