lyrics
This sucker is nuclear!
A quarter of a century old, but she made him feel like 8
Like when he turned his back on his own flesh to lose the weight
He saw his mother crying, with a razor in her veins
The pictures flashed back in his head, when they separated ways
He sat and listened to the silence, that was reigning in his flat
she made him desperate but somehow he got to think about his dad
He said: 'My son, there are plenty more – you know, like fishes in the sea
but some of them are poisoned. Better watch out, before you eat!'
Lizzy’s got a time machine! Jump on, enjoy the ride
It might not take you very far – but imagine all the sights
Every mistake you ever made is lit up by the lights
You better start building up mills, when the wind of change blows by
Long story short is that he lost his mind and he didn’t search for light
isolated himself in the songs he used to like
But as the pencil scratched across the paper and the cellphone started to ring
he found out every ending leads you back to the beginning
Lizzy’s got a time machine! Jump on, enjoy the ride
It might not take you very far – but imagine all the sights
Every mistake you ever made is spotted by the lights
You better start building up mills, when the wind of change blows by
A quarter of a century old, but she made him feel like 8
Like when he turned his back on his own flesh to lose the weight
He saw his mother crying, with a razor in her veins
The pictures flashed back in his head, when they separated ways
He sat and listened to the silence, that was reigning in his flat
she made him desperate but somehow he got to think about his dad
He said: 'My son, there are plenty more – you know, like fishes in the sea
but some of them are poisoned. Better watch out, before you eat!'
Lizzy’s got a time machine! Jump on, enjoy the ride
It might not take you very far – but imagine all the sights
Every mistake you ever made is lit up by the lights
You better start building up mills, when the wind of change blows by
Long story short is that he lost his mind and he didn’t search for light
isolated himself in the songs he used to like
But as the pencil scratched across the paper and the cellphone started to ring
he found out every ending leads you back to the beginning
Lizzy’s got a time machine! Jump on, enjoy the ride
It might not take you very far – but imagine all the sights
Every mistake you ever made is spotted by the lights
You better start building up mills, when the wind of change blows by

Hab Euch bei Festung Rockt gesehen und ich fand es unglaublich schade, daß die Stimmung da noch etwas fad war. Wir Franken sind da leider etwas zurückhaltend. Wollte Euch nur kurz sagen, daß Euer Auftritt geil war und der offizielle Festung rockt-Video-Soundtrack völlig zurecht von Euch kommt. Macht weiter so und bitte, bitte mehr von Euren Videos :-P
