Explode Like a Star - Amon Düül II

Deep inside, we’re ready for a ride

For a jump over gaps to the secret side

From time immemorial, from time immemorial

Imagine thoughts sent from lightsyears away

By a star still shimmering at the sky

A star that exploded ages ago

It never will get your reply

If we’d only knew 'bout the cosmic rules

Why circles run in periods

If we’d only knew 'bout the unknown codes

We’d cry, we’d cry

One grain of sand contains an universe

And sunsystems in a grain of sand

Are we actually living in a micro-

Or a macro cosmic land

Philosophers stone is rolling

Somewhere to the nuclear bomb

Should a fool once presses the button

Than it’s rather too late to rock and stomp

Rather too late to rock and stomp

Rather too late to rock and stomp

Rather too late to rock and stomp

All you possess is in our mind

So start with the inner revolution

Einstein discreeted his last formula

'Cause it wouldn’t have been mankinds solution

Mr. Hitler was obsessed by demons

Mr. Nero py a perverted game

«Panem et circenses"for the crowd —

Today isn’t it just the same?

What’s all about those hexagrams

Is it the «J"in their names, that has them killed

Jimmy H., Janis J., Jim M. and B. Jones

Or just another public-relation-thrill?

So brother they tell you, to be jive to survive

Save your believe, teeth, car and your guitar

And take yourself just by the hand

Smile gently while you explode like a star!

While you explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star

Explode like a star
