Spectacles Songtext
von van den Bear

Pressure keeps rising up
How do we keep on fucking it up?
Crumbling centre stage

Focussing on today
Our parents are away
Catering to the masses

Carry on Carry on
Somebody′s written a song
Nobody knows how to play

Carry on carry on
Just being carried along
Complaining all the way

Complacent by design
I'm walking down the line

The news of the day
Is We′re always in everybody's way

Stop using the present tense
Playing cards with our plastic friends

Maybe it's time to rely on your disguise


The fur coat we applied
The fossil of star that you found
Never throw it away
Know I can see for miles

The spectacles that you tried
Everything goes with your eyes
My mind is always late
I might deceive you

At night
Everything is going quiet
I can hear myself smile
Getting ready to play

But then I feel so tired
Of taking everything apart
From the moment we start
Trying to fade away

So please Just drive
Don′t worry about the signs
I′ve got a map in my mind
Still I'll lead you astray
If you ask me


At times
I wanted to be the light
Controlling all the tides
The one that got away
Ubiquity as disguise

The fur coat we applied
The fossil star that you found
Never throw it away
I′ll let you decide

The spectacles that you tried
Everything goes with your eyes
My mind is always late
Know I can see for miles
