The Sound of German Hip-Hop
I woke up to the sound of German hip hop in my headA great unholy clatter quickly filling me with dreadI wondered then if silence had forever disappearedWhat, with everybody yelling the end was finally hereI scrambled for the television, desperate for its lightHoping that my favorite stars could stop this endless nightI waited for instructions, I waited for a signI listened very carefully when told just what to buyLovers became bitter, mathematicians counting crumbsSome were filled with angry lust, the rest felt mostly numbThe sun became the enemy, they'd hunger after darkAnd kill time swapping partners at a club called Noah's ArcThose who spoke of doom impending, suffering and suchHad found the place in people's heart that beauty had once touchedThey filled the auditorium, the tickets far from cheapThose that couldn't get in started fighting in the streetThe day came so we gathered in a field behind the mallA noted scientist predicted there we'd see it allThe city council members came, they told us not to fearThe king and queen of homecoming both shed a poignant tearJust like that it happened, the starling blinked its eyeLetras de cancionesThe molecules collided and became part of the skyAll my life I've never known a moment quite so stillLike space that's being emptied at the same time that it's filledI woke up to the sound of German hip hop in the airIt sounded like a hum of insects nesting in my hairI wasn't so much tired but I felt that I should sleepSo I closed my eyed and mumbled something about a soul to keep From Letras Mania
