Rattenkönig 02:52
Get the people up I'm stuck Imaginarium, please stand up and say: "what have you come to for what you went through?" Please stand up and say: "My greatest ambition was to give up to heroin" "My greatest ambition was to find my hole and fall in" Get the people up I'm stuck Imaginarium, Please, send them away Entangled, opposite ways And this is the infamous throne of the king of rats Uncanny rhythms murders feeding on your soul lust is lost

I was born three days ago electromagnetic soul the days grew faster and I had no goals Jägermeister for the hungry soul! and round and round and round she goes like a town clown rodeo give it up or give it all, my love laughstock or dancer I don't know just get on the motherfucking floor and show us what are you made of fantastic, elastic, fabulous move it, move! I was born and after a week my eyes started to leak, of every choice I got the very worst pick Jose Cuervo, will you quench my soul? I need to eliminate my soul I need to eliminate my goals fantastic, elastic, fabulous move it, move! A pulse of breath into a hollow lung the air blown for a song that I never sung fantastic do tell me more of you elastic don't make me regret you! I was born into this loom from a mechanical womb god am I scared but, frankly, so should you 'bout the shoobba-dubba-du-bah-doo just do whatever you feel to let's regret it when we can't undo fantastic, elastic, fabulous move it, move! A pulse of breath into a hollow lung the air blown for a song that I never sung fantastic do tell me more of you elastic don't make me regret you!

Madman 06:24
Madman, in a cage you met your bones, climb up, burn the sun that never shone and smile with that grin, they're asking for it Go and wear your mask of demons like she wears her cigarette Madman, don't you like this nice weather that we have? so grab your snowy coat and go walk in the park soak up the blood upon your eyes You may as well try What else could you be doing? You may as well try Where the hell did we go wrong one second here, now he's gone Wind up the reel, and stand still. Do you feel you're really free? Oh, dear, are you blind? I will help you down that tree and I'll take you inside, Snowflake in the hill, falling, nuking down. The log cabin's dark and still the best place you can find Dear, you are no porcupine a pinecone up a tree. Falling, nuking down. everything you thought was true, everything you have gone through. Wind up the reel, and stand still.

Hunt Is On 03:13
Standing here doing my thing feel like thin ice in a tap dance show sweet and soft watch your step are you good to go? stand back stand back the hunt is on It's the season of treason to reason celebrated by the arson unveil ton visage then you spot me with your stun gun I'm trapped yes, I'm trapped the hunt is on Do you need to eat some meat 'cause I'm made of it cook me fast slow fire and stir a bit slow fire slow fire the hunt is on Am I game and is this 'cause I'll play my part in your twisted plots corner me we're alone then you shoot another shot do you want my hide to warm you in the cold? And I try, yes I try to be contagious but as for me the hunt is on And I try, yes I try to be outrageous but as for me the hunt is on And I try, yes I try to be dangerous. The hunt is on. And I try, yes I try, yes I try, the hunt is on

And so started the search, that rainy day the frogs were calling up my name "Boy, boy. Where are you? Are you safe?" Rumors of water drumming on the leaves Maybe I'm down the tunnels that it cleaves, maybe I'm not... maybe I'm not to be found, I don't even know. I could be dead by now. Keep looking... Keep looking around. The face of the moon could not illuminate. The crows did too learn how to spell my name and that's when everything went wrong I got scared, and flew, far and beyond Though I needn't to Oh, I needn't to
