lyrics

Lyrics written by Niek van Ansem

A pipeline goes straight in my head
and draws the breath of you that changed the goals I have set
Lovemaking is a... hard process
But I'll take the challenge that lies in satisfying you

I'll keep on hating but it's endless faking
The ties we love are the ones that are breaking
And the force of love is prone to exaggeration
So wait in line up for the next sensation to come

Stupid to ask why you were my friend
But we sincerely believe we'd make it until the end
Back then you were my savior from a flatland of boredom
But it wasn't a lie, even though they would like us to believe that

I'll keep on hating but it's endless faking
The ties we love are the ones that are breaking
And the force of love is prone to exaggeration
So wait in line up for the next sensation to come


-- -- Spoken word poem -- --
We drank spring from the cup, that Nature gave us
To neutralize the memories of an autumn's rust
Shining in defiance, we glared into the sun
Mesmerized by the stories, of how it all had begun

We danced on the roof, our feet burning on the tiles
In celebration of the peculiar, yet unwalked little miles
The sanctification I know now, for when I looked in your eyes
I realised that the summer had just subtly cast our dice
-- -- -- --

Such a relieving promise, for autumns to come
After sleeping with many, and dreaming of some
I will return spellbound, to you my sweet one
And shake ice from my hair, for the winter is done

I'll keep on hating but it's endless faking
The ties we love are the ones that are breaking
And the force of love is prone to exaggeration
So wait in line up for the next sensation to come

To come home
To come home
To come home
Yeah!
