I fear that light will find the full outline of my shadow
Play dead, play dead, sleeping lions play dead
Play dead…
Like the pigs on the poles who are dancing for men in the dirty black holes of our country
Dead like the man in city who talks to himself
Play dead like the kids in the class and the teacher just asking and asking and asking those questions
Dead like singer who’s singing his prettiest songs
Play dead, play dead, sleeping lions play dead
My sister Siamese, I sure hope you never leave
Like a ghost inside my dreams, you never say what you mean
Play dead, play dead, sleeping lions play dead
Everyone is pulling faces; I forgot to pull out mine
That’s fine, I’ll just mime, forget it
We were younger, we were brighter, we were seven years lighter
It was always gonna come to this and I’m so fucking glad it did
This is hell, this is hell, this is hell, wretched consequence
Everything you’ve ever done and worse still what you said

Laß die ganze Welt über dir zusammenkommen
Reicht euch die Hände
Liebt euch
Schnell, schnell, schnell

Play dead like the petals they picked, that you bought, that you placed at the side of the road for a loved one
Dead like the woman who’s wondering ‘God when will he cum?’
Play dead, play dead, sleeping lions play dead
My sister Siamese, I sure hope you never leave
Like a ghost inside my dreams, you never say what you mean
Play dead, play dead, sleeping lions play dead
I fear that light has found the full outline of my shadow
And I’m alive
