Noah's Titanic - Antje Duvekot

«Molly is dead and the birds have gone south,»

Said the joker to the thief

«My nerves are live wire, and I’m burning on fire

Got a paper in my pocket and a coupon for a cup of peace

Truly there was nothing that we really lacked

Except the feeling of alive

That’s why I turned to art, that’s how you got to jail

And now you’re out on bail, fairytale, searching for the Holy Grail

And closer to the truth, than the kettle to the stove

And the moment that I noticed that I didn’t wanna know

I got a pain in my heart, a burn in my throat

They go down to my belly, got a bullet of a load

I got an ache in my head, my confidence broke

Got a lot of lost time on the shoes of my soul, yeah"

«Jesus, joker,» said the thief, «This can’t be my life

Oh, something’s been thrown, like an arrow or a stone

Now the solitude is warmer and I’d rather be alone

We lost our friends to the everyday

To the drugs and the dreams

To the girls in the bars, the boys in the cars

When your shitty little love life reaches just to the horizon

And you’re closer to the truth, than the kettle to the stove

And the moment that I noticed that I didn’t wanna know

I got a pain in my heart, a burn in my throat

They go down to my belly, got a bullet of a load

I got an ache in my head, my confidence broke

Got a lot of lost time on the shoes of my soul

Yeah, the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t really a light

If we got any closer we would find that it’s only a mirror

Reflecting our search lamps, here in the darkness, here in the homeland

We’ll always be searching for permanence in quicksand

And frenzied collecting things that we just can’t hold

But we will hang on with our teeth"
