I sleep like a baby, I sleep at the wheel
You burning is untrue, my bullshit is real
You call me a hero time and again and
I find me a crapper, hosenscheisser
Time and again, go
Just for a handful of silver I leave you
Just for a ribbon to stick to my coat
Found the one gift of which fortune bereft us
Lost all the others she lets us devote*
Let’s us devote, go
Can you feel your spine now? Are you breathing?
Can you feel your spine now? Are you breathing?
Can you feel your spine now? Are you breathing?
