Dancing figures of smoke and light

The jester's sardonic parade

Mannequin puppet your limping waltz

On my bedroom wall

Keep pretending, keep performing

The dreamer must stay awake

Shapeless riddles told by pompous rogues

Pantomime preachers present

Empty eyes staring, sunken eyes glaring

Drowned in a moment of truth

Hourglass ticking, a childs fingerlicking

Jigsaw puzzles and clay

Silhouettoes and gepettoes circling the face of my world

You point your finger, I break each and one

A handfull of reasons are gone

'Cause you're nothing

But a shadowplay

I am all

No longer astray

And I'm sick n' tired of you

So get out my house

So get out my life

So get out of my head

So get out of the way

Taciturned teasers with tattooed tears

A play of shadows they give

A blindfolded sejour from Shakespeare to Marx

Directions vague and obscene

Comedies and tragedies

Spastic laughter I sense

A room, a scene, a private playground

The front-row ticket I've got

'Cause you're nothing

But a shadowplay

I am all

No longer astray

And I'm sick n' tired of you

'Cause you're nothing, nothing

But a shadowplay

I am all

No longer astray
