So long

he´s the first to come and the last to go,
when he´s working in the studio
all day long
his eyes they hurt, his stomach aches
he knows that one he´ ll break
there´s something wrong
then late at night he creeps to bed
his wife´s asleep, her dreams are sad
for so long, for so long
all around the christmas tree yes this is where they wanna be
together, together

this is what we are waiting for,
we´re reaching out for more but fall aside
we all just wanna get control
and so we sell our souls and then we die

altough he knows he needs a rest,
but everyday he gives his best
what for, what for
in his fucked up life, he never asks why
there´re so many things that money can´t buy
he´s so blind, so blind
for a house and a car and a pool in the yard,
therefore his life will fall apart
he´s so close, he´s so close

this is what we are waiting for,
we´re reaching out for more but fall aside
we all just wanna get control
and so we sell our souls and then we die

we need a rest

where should we now go from here,
when everything around us disappears

this is what we are waiting for,
we´re reaching out for more but fall aside
we all just wanna get control
and so we sell our souls and then we die
