Defcon Songtext
von Diorama

Now pull yourself together
Pour a drink, light a cigarette
And tell me about the weather
And how the sky turns violet

(Every time we collide) and how it all gets messed up
(Every time we collide) before the sun comes up at you
(Like a forbidden light) I have but lame excuses
(Undignified) but they will do the job for you

This is the greatest trick of the century
And it runs, runs, runs like a clockwork
Why do you whisper?
Why don′t you scream at me?
What a real fake life we won't be sharing

I store you in a gift box
I take you out on a weary day
We′re going deaf when fear talks
We overrule our DNA


(Every time we collide) we radiate the brightness
(Every time we collide) from the amazing fallacy
(Like a forbidden light) behind our sweat-soaked faces
(Undignified) but who on earth needs dignity?

This is the greatest trick of the century
And it runs, runs, runs like a clockwork
Why do you whisper?
Why don't you scream at me?
What a real fake life we won't be sharing

Every time we collide
Every time we collide
Like a forbidden light
Undignified

This is the greatest trick of the century
And it runs, runs, runs like a clockwork
Why do you whisper?
Why don′t you scream at me?
What a real fake life we won′t be sharing
