lyrics

you didn´t ask for my name, you just took it
i don´t want no ticket, cause i ain´t gonna ride on your train
it really is a shame, and you´re to blame

and i don´t want to talk to you on the phone
i ain´t never gonna call this place my home
and i sure as hell don´t want to see you in my room

i´m just sitting here thinking, contemplating
waiting for the end of your world
i´m just sitting here thinking, smoking and drinking
waiting for the end of your world

i really hate what you, and i know you do too
i really hate what you, and i can see you do too
there is nothing in the world you could do to make me follow you
cause i really hate what you do and i can see you do too

so don´t you try to tell me everything is just fine
cause i can see the darkness crawling up your spine
and the demon smile you now see - well, it ain´t mine

and i guess you can hear me talking from way down below
yeah, i know you can hear me singing from way down below
and you may see my footprints in the melting snow
but you´re just wearing a mask and i´m a ghost

... watching the end of your world

The Nymph only could repeat, the Beloved were transfixed on their reflection. Quite tragic really - quite funny, too.
Krautrock, Americana - who cares: all of it is music.
