When you say your love is outrageous 
I'm not trying matching with you 
Fear eats through the ages 
Swallows all good that we do 

When IT comes close tonight 
I grab as much of IT as I can get my hands on 
The sound gets clear and bright 
And bitterness is far 

I understand: time demands pain 
And constantly we kill all youth 
In unison we sing in vain 
If we don't care for truth 

Still we paint our intentions blue-ish 
Life-fakes get colored pink 
It's the days of the foolish 
Where men steal the sky with a blink 

When IT shows what's inside 
We take IT or leave IT or just roll on with our lives 
Superficialized 
We can't hear when IT calls 

I understand ... 

Let's pretend the circle is cornered 
and stones will turn into gold 
Let's try to make the sea turn red 
Or to grow up before we get old 

When IT comes down ... 

I understand: time ... 

If IT is IT, IT saves the day 
If IT is not we earn our pay 
Is IT was IT has seemed to say 
We get IT anyway!
