Disaster struck an hour ago Left me on my knees And I have never felt so fucking low It is giving me the creeps So I have Thought about the way we take The bad news as they come And the next time I will be prepared I'll wave my hands and run Then I'll be right there with you Sitting here with you Waiting for the news The Doctor's orders Through pain and suffering I am your reckoning We are murdering Human borders

I cleaned my heart With a gospel song It reviewed my remorse And got me strong Then I met a saviour Among thieves and rogues Then I drank her wine And she saved my soul No matter how hard I try To believe in stuff Like gods and angels Demons and love I end up drinking coffee In a stroke of moon Reading books of facts About doubt and doom You took my hand And healed my wounds You let me rest In your silent room You gave me hugs And a tender kiss Then I woke up From your heavenly bliss No matter how hard... I think I need to drink More of your wine And you need to kiss Those lips of mine They're dry as dust From a dessert-walk From writing in caves With a piece of chalk And so it came to be That we are alone And all your trust in beings Are all long gone I long for brighter, better Future some day Cause I saw a glimpse of you In a panicked state No matter how hard..,

A lousy excuse for not touching it A clumsy fall off a rhetorical cliff A posing alteration in a frightening disguise You've got the cape and the helmet You just need to chose sides! And you point your death ray Right at my solar plexus Right into my mortal core And in a flash of violet You are laughing insane My perfect enigma is born You are the purple enigma Your personal gain Is just like old-school cinema When you tell me your name You are the purple enigma My negative side The worst love affair On the worst night Inexcusable behavior and a laughable plan Of world domination or your own land In which you want to be mayor, in which you want to be queen But you are not even a villain, you are not even a teen I am hanging by my feet Right over your pool Filled with terrors And man-eating sharks And you are using me now I am a giant tool I am a green, giant Hero from Mars You are a purple enigma Your personal gain Is just like old-school cinema When you tell me your name You are the purple enigma My negative side The worst love affair On the worst night So you point your death ray Right at my solar plexus Right into my mortal core And you are wearing helmets You are wearing capes My perfect enigma is born

I hear echoes In the telephone Reminding me That I am not alone Your red nose is left here In plain sight But I am just a shade In the pale moonlight In the pale moonlight You told me how to Act the loon On helium from a Blue balloon You called me names With your squeaky voice You left me hanging As if I had no choice Then you inhaled All the air again And I won't deny That I loved you then You are a strange thing To keep around A sad excuse For a circus clown And every thing echoes Though the barricades Your thin voice is singing That it is too late That it is too late You told me how To act the loon On helium from a Black balloon
