when everything is wrong
and nothing turns out bright
painting your hour in the deepest hue
wisdom is forbidden while the chains hang heavy,
so you’re locked in stone
break the rhythm, don’t sing along
life is damn’ short, why sleep in the cold?

wake up!
wake up!
you’ll sleep when you’re old
wake up!
wake up!
don’t sleep in the cold!

when all the doors are closed
and no one rings the bell
strike another tune and turn to the next page,
maybe it is right or maybe it is not
but being lost in limbo never payed a debt,
and always ask for sugar
even if the merchant deals in salt…

ask for sugar,
never take the salt
ask for sugar,
never salt,
sugar…

when the darkness falls
burn up the whole world
so they feel it coming
when heat goes up through hell,
and leave nothing behind
no trace, no hate, no excuse
only love, if you’ve got what it takes…

it takes
what it takes,
it takes
what it takes,
to run on empty and love on the full
it takes
what it takes,
it takes
what it takes…
