Clem Snide - The Sound Of German Hip Hop lyrics

rate me

I woke up to the sound of German hip hop in my head

A great unholy clatter quickly filling me with dread

I wondered then if silence had forever disappeared

What, with everybody yelling the end was finally here

I scrambled for the television, desperate for its light

Hoping that my favorite stars could stop this endless night

I waited for instructions, I waited for a sign

I listened very carefully when told just what to buy

Lovers became bitter, mathematicians counting crumbs

Some were filled with angry lust, the rest felt mostly numb

The sun became the enemy, they'd hunger after dark

And kill time swapping partners at a club called Noah's Arc

Those who spoke of doom impending, suffering and such

Had found the place in people's heart that beauty had once touched

They filled the auditorium, the tickets far from cheap

Those that couldn't get in started fighting in the street

The day came so we gathered in a field behind the mall

A noted scientist predicted there we'd see it all

The city council members came, they told us not to fear

The king and queen of homecoming both shed a poignant tear

Just like that it happened, the starling blinked its eye

The molecules collided and became part of the sky

All my life I've never known a moment quite so still

Like space that's being emptied at the same time that it's filled

I woke up to the sound of German hip hop in the air

It sounded like a hum of insects nesting in my hair

I wasn't so much tired but I felt that I should sleep

So I closed my eyed and mumbled something about a soul to keep<br />
