Kopf verloren English translation
von Peter Fox

I'm standing in the room, can't get to sleep
My head is on fire
I pour one out on the lamp -
Doesn't help, the thoughts are racing
Through my skull in circles
All the wires are running hot
It smells like brain-burnt flesh
I stick my head in the ice


I think, think, think, think, think too much
It would be good if my brain fell out the window
Pressure in my head, there's no release valve
20,000 scenes played through
100,000 scenes thought up
My hellish skull is smoking and cracking
I need a break and I'll grab the damn thing
And unscrew it
The bullet falls forward
Can't see anything, I'm without ears
I'm standing in the dark
I've lost my head

The day breaks, there's a knock on your door
You open it, and there I stand headless before you
Ooh, hold me tight, or I'll lose myself
Only with you can I find my way back to myself

The head is rolling, because it's round
I'm chasing after it, knocking everything over
I'm deaf, mute, blind, and dumb
A kingdom for a guide dog
My marble has left me behind
I wonder what I'm even thinking right now
Maybe I'm calling out to myself, but I can't hear anything
How could I have destroyed myself like this?


Bump me blue in every corner
My head rolls through the stairwell
I have to save it, I won't give up
While I race against myself
I'm going crazy, ah I can hardly stand it
I stumble, fall down, lie in the dust
The horror extends its claws
Ooh, wake me up from my nightmare

The day breaks, there's a knock on your door
You open it, and there I stand headless before you
Ooh, hold me tight, or I'll lose myself
Only with you can I find my way back to myself
