Calm me down
I'm tired of runnin'
I wanna lay my head in your hands
and keep it there for a while
Calm me down
I'm sick of longin'
if there's tomorrow it's still way ahead of us now

I'm talking backwards
it goes in one ear and out the other
it's been that way all day
Goin' into details
back to a general approach of
what was that again I had to say?
I see a face, while there isn't really one
and I finish up, what I haven't really done

Calm me down ...

My letters are upside down
but there are some messages that get through
no matter how you read them
These rabbits sittin' behind desks
down the corridor there's a plate that says
'now don't you dare feed them'
I hear a choir, while there isn't really one
and I realize, that I never heard the song

Calm me down ...

I see a face, while there isn't really one
and I finish up, what I haven't really done
I know, when to come and go
I know, when it's the end of the show
it's been a long, long day ...

Calm me down
I'm tired of givin'
Wanna lay my head in your hands
and keep it there for a while
Calm me down
sick of longin'
if there's tomorrow it's still ... way ahead.
