Through the haze
Swallows flying high
While we sleep
In a world of steel
There's no peace

It is my belief
That my life has been discreet
Door slammed shut
The big bad wolf of night
Fragments of hope in this endless climb
Lit up by traffic lights
Broken dreams
Parading gingermen
Aftermath
Turn away
From them

Rain beats down
On the candy streets
Each drop sings the gingermen to sleep

Watch us fail
Oh, stars above
Guide me through the dark
Whispers told
To the fading light

An now the cars go by
Silver ghosts
Of all the gingermen
Washing out
Washed away
With the rain

You better pack a suitcase
Escape beyond the city limits
Or watch your old self disappear
Before the end is writ in dough
It can only be delayed

We'll never escape
From the big wave

Oh, are you washing away now
Oh, are you washing away now
Oh, are you washing away now
And now you are never the same anymore

Lead me out
Castaway
In the end
