THIS IS THE LOOK-OUT  THIS IS THE LOOK-OUT
THAT'S THE LOOK-OUT GESTURE

&

AT ONE POINT I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY SHADOW
IN STEAD OF TAKING MORE CARE OF MY BODY
I BEGAN TO CORRECT MY SHADOW
AND I NEGLECTED THE BODY

BE VERY CAREFUL OF SHADOWS
THE SHADOWS CAN POSSESS YOU
YOUR OWN SHADOW CAN POSSESS YOU
BEWARE OF SHADOWS
AND THE SHADOWS LIE

&

FIRST THING I AM
I WILL DESCRIBE YOU WHAT I AM
WHAT BETTER I CAN DO
FIRST THING I AM IS A HYPOCRITE
I'M A HYPOCRITE
EVERYTHING I SAY IS HYPOCRITICAL
HYPO-CRITICAL

THE JEW WANTS TO BE PRECISE
DOESN'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT
EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS BLUFF
BUT DOESN'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT

I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS 
WITH MY ALIASES
ALL OF THEM ARE MONSTROUS

&

CHARLOTTE DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE
CHARLOTTE CHARLOTTE  SHE DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH HER
CHARLOTTE  CHARLOTTE
HIDING BEHIND THE DARKNESS OF MY SOUL

THIS IS A LABOUR - I'M TRYING TO GIVE BIRTH
I'M PREGNANT  ALLEGORICALLY SPEAKING

ALLEGORICALLY SPEAK
I'M DOOMED BABY  I'M DOOMED
I HAVE TO ALLEGORICALLY SPEAK
I CANNOT SAY IT STRAIGHT
THERE IS NO STRAIGHT WAY TO SAY IT

&

I SAY IT STRAIGHT
I SAY KILL THE CRIME  I SAY NOTHING ELSE
THREE TIMES WE WERE ASKED SOMETHING
AND ALL THE THREE TIMES THAT WAS IT
WHAT IS CRIME  WHAT IS CRIME
THAT'S THE QUESTION

I HAD A PERFECT ANSWER FOR IT
I STILL HAVE A PERFECT ANSWER FOR IT
AND THAT'S THE ANSWER FOR IT:
CRIME IS THAT WILLFULLY HURTS ANOTHER

THIS IS AN ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN, BABY
THAT'S HOW IT LOOKS
BECAUSE I'M THE LEADER OF THE SOLITARY
THAT'S HOW I LEAD

&

SO BESIDE THE HYPOCRISY I AM A THIEF
THAT'S THE SECOND THING I AM
FIRST OF ALL I HAVE A GREAT PRAXIS IN IT
BECAUSE I LIVED ON SHOPLIFTING FOR YEARS
TWO TIMES ARRESTED ONLY FOR IT

THIS GOES BACK TO THE EARLY EIGHTIES
WHEN THE SURVEILLANCE WAS MUCH LOWER
IT WAS EASIER - TODAY I WOULDN'T DARE TO STEAL
I WOULDN'T DARE TO
IT DOESN'T BELONG TO MY CHARACTER THIS TIME

I WAS ACTIVE BEFORE 1984
SINCE THEN THE PASSIVITY
BECAUSE OF THE DEATH FACTOR
I HAPPENED TO DIE IN 1984
IT WAS SOFT  VERY GRACIOUS  
BUT COMPLETE

NOW I EVEN HAVE MY MIND TAKEN  MY MEMORY
BUT I STILL REMEMBER EVERY SHIT
NEW THINGS I CANNOT LEARN
NOR REMEMBER WHAT I LEARNED
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING I LEARNED
I REMEMBER EVERYTHING I EXPERIENCED  

&

OSSHH

YES I AM A THIEF
NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PRAXIS
BUT OF COURSE THAT I'M STEALING TIME
I'M STEALING THE SPACE
EVERYTHING I OWN I STEAL
NOTHING  NOTHING IS MINE

ALL MY THOUGHTS ARE STOLEN
I STEAL THE AIR I'M BREATHING IN  I'M STEALING IT
I'M NOT EVEN ALIVE

MY OWN TIME  OWN TIME I DON'T HAVE AT ALL
I DON'T HAVE AN AGENDA
SINCE 1984 I  HAVE NO AGENDA
I BUY IT EVERY YEAR AND I'M WRITING IN WHAT I HAVE TO DO
LIKE GO TO THE DENTIST OR GO TO THE RADIO
THAT'S ONE REGULAR WEEKLY
THAT'S THE WEEKLY ENTRY: GO TO THE RADIO ON THURSDAY
AND THEN THE DIFFERENT OFFICIAL NECESSITIES - AND THAT'S IT
BUT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE IN MY AGENDA
THERE ARE NO MEETINGS OR EVENTS

&

AFTER I DIED I MET A LOT OF PEOPLE YET  
BUT ABSOLUTELY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE ANY MORE
DEAD CANNOT BEHAVE  THE DEAD  UUUU
I'M UNCIVILIZED 
JUST SIMULATE POLITENESS - DON'T BELIEVE IN IT
I'M EXTREMELY IMPOLITE - I'M JUST SIMULATING IT

IT BELONGS TO HYPOCRISY BUT THERE IS MORE TO IT
THAT'S MY THIRD CHARACTERISTIC  THAT I'M VERY EVIL
EVERY NICE GESTURE I DO FROM EVIL
ALL MY CREATIVITY GOES INTO THE POLITE BEHAVIOUR
AND THAT I CONSIDER REVENGE
I'M SIMULATING SOMEBODY

AND I DO IT ALRIGHT SO FAR
NOW I DON'T SCREAM ANY MORE
BEFORE 1984 I WAS A SCREAMER
AFTER 1984 FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS
I MADE SOME HYSTERIAS IN PUBLIC PLACES
LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE EASIEST
AT THE WAITER OR THE SALESPERSON
AND THEN I CALMED DOWN SOMEWHAT

LAST TIME I SCREAMED IT WAS AT THE HOSPITAL
AT THE NURSE - AGAIN THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE
BUT I WAS SCREAMING ALL THE TIME BESIDES IT AS WELL
WITH A REASON

&

MADNESS TAKES MANY FORMS AND SHAPES
MY MADNESS IS ALL OF IT

I'M TOTAL - I'M THE TOTAL MADNESS
I'M NOT CRIMINALLY INSANE
I'M NON-CRIMINALLY INSANE

WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE TO CRIMINAL - THE CITIZEN
CRIMINAL AND CITIZEN
I'M CITIZENLY  CITIZENLY INSANE
CITIZEN INSANE

&

A COWARD  THAT'S THE NEXT THING I AM
A HYPOCRITE, A COWARD (THAT'S THE SECOND), A THIEF -
I'M PRETENDING TO BE ALIVE
I'M STILL PRETENDING  AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS
I'M STILL PRETENDING TO BE ALIVE
BECAUSE I CANNOT SAY I AM NOT
BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING IS INVISIBLE
I CANNOT SHOW IT - I CANNOT SAY IT
SO IT'S JUST A BIG BLOODY SECRET

THAT I'M DEAD IS MY SECRET
THAT I WOULD NEVER ADMIT IN PUBLIC
THIS IS JUST A GAME - THIS IS A VIDEO PLAY
DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
I'M JUST PLAYING IT ON VIDEO

PLAYING A CHARACTER LIKE THAT
WHO THINKS HE'S DEAD
AND THEN SETS OUT TO FIND THE PROOFS FOR IT
IT'S A FILM SCRIPT

&

I'VE BLESSED MY MIRROR IMAGE
I BLESSED MY MIRROR IMAGE TO SEE IF IT'S TRUE
I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH MY MIRROR
I LIKE MY SHADOW BUT I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH THE MIRROR AT ALL
AAAAA

I DON'T WANNA SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
BECAUSE I'M A LIAR - I SHOULDN'T
I'M NOT A VAMPIRE
AS LONG AS I SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR CANNOT BE A VAMPIRE
I'M NOT A VAMPIRE

I'M TELLING YOU - I'M NOT A VAMPIRE
I HATE VAMPIRES
I HATE MESSIAHS TOO
I HATE VAMPIRES AND MESSIAHS

OOOH  OBSCENE  OBSCENE REALITY
OBSCENE REALITY  OBSCENE REALITY
THEY ARE OUT TO KILL ME

&

I AM WAITING TO COME
NO RESULT YET  NO RESULT YET
I AM FIGHTING  I AM FIGHTING
I AM FIGHTING THEM
YES I AM  YES I AM
DON'T GET ME SO VERY WRONG  OOO

AND TO THIS COMES THE LIFE WISH
THE LIFE WISH OF THE DEAD
IS STRONGER THAN THE DEATH WISH OF THE LIVING
IT'S TWICE AS STRONG
IT CAN DRIVE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE

&

MAYBE I'M JUST VERY FASHIONABLE WITH THIS
BECAUSE EVERYBODY SAYS IT
SINCE VERY LONG  SINCE ALICE
AND THE PO-PO-PO-POINT IS THAT THEY DON'T LIE
I AM LYING - THEY DO NOT LIE
BUT THEY ARE NOT
THEY DON'T LIE BUT THEY ARE NOT
I LIE BUT I AM

IT'S A CHASM
CHASM BETWEEN ME AND THE WORLD
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY OF LIVING
DON'T HAVE THE LIVING'S CAPACITY

I'M JUST TELLING IT TO YOU  
BECAUSE YOU DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO ME
DON'T PUSH ME BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT
I'M SO SORRY TO SAY - BUT IT'S INTERESTING, NO?
I'M NOT INTERESTING - I'M THE MOST INTERESTING

&

2014 WE HAVE NOW
'84, '94, 2004 - THIRTY YEARS
I'M DEAD SINCE THIRTY YEARS ALONG WITH TIME
I DIED AT THE SAME TIME  AS TIME DID
THAT'S HOW I EXPERIENCE IT
LET ME TELL YOU HOW I FEEL

(CHARLOTTE'S THEME)

THIS IS MY ENTRÉE SONG 
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG
I CAN IMPOSE IT ON ANYTHING

&

DEATH METAL  THERE WAS NO DEATH METAL YET WHEN I DIED
IT STARTED A LITTLE BIT THEREAFTER

DEATH ITSELF  THE SCHULDINER'S DEATH ITSELF
WAS FORMED IN 1984  YES
ALL THOSE THINGS WERE FORMED IN 1984
DEATH METAL WAS BORN WHEN I DIED EXACTLY

MY DEATH WAS INVISIBLE
IT'S NOT THE REAL DEATH YET - THIS IS THE BARDO
I'M GOING THROUGH THE BARDO BIOLOGICALLY ALIVE
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME THIS, HM
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME THIS

DON'T HAVE TO
DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE IT'S NOT TRUE
NOBODY DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE'S DOING

&

YOU ARE THIS OR THAT
BUT YOU SAY I AM THIS OR THAT
EVEN IF YOU'RE MARTIN SCORCESE
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE
ANYTHING YOU DO IS TOTALLY SECONDARY
THE JUDGEMENT IS SO DEMOCRATIC
THE SAME MEASURE OF JOY AND PAIN  IN THE VISIBILITY

AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO SHOW IT
OR MAY NOT SHOW IT  OR YOU HAVE TO CONCEAL IT
OR CANNOT CONCEAL IT - THE STATUS IS TAKING ITS TOLLS

TAKING ITS TOLLS
OH THE JEW KNOWS SO WELL EVERYTHING
THE JEW KNOWS SO WELL
'THAT WAS SUFFOCATION - SOULS TO DENY'
SUFFOCATION - UU-WAH-WAH-UU

IT'S A BARGAIN
IN ONE WORD IT'S A BARGAIN
IT'S A COSMIC BARGAIN
WE ARE THE MARTYRS OF THAT COSMIC BARGAIN
MARTYRS OF THE COSMIC BARGAIN
NOBODY KNOWS WHERE WE ARE

&

I'M UGLY TOO
THAT'S WHY I'M WEARING A VEIL
AN UGLY THIEF AND A COWARD HYPOCRITE
DO YOU WANT TO MARRY ME 
YOU WANT TO MARRY ME, HA
AND YOU WANT TO MARRY ME 
DO YOU WANT TO MARRY ME STILL
YOU WANT TO MARRY ME STILL

JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME
JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME
JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME
