lyrics

REACH FOR THE SUN

TOTAL SHOCK SO PERFECT AND SAD
LILY-WHITE LILITH SHE'S BORED TO DEATH.

PUT US TOGETHER THERE'S NO MORE TO GIVE,
YOU LOVE YOURSELF AND NOBODY ELSE.

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE YOU'RE READY TO GO,
MY LITTLE DARLING I PRAY FOR YOUR SOUL.

AN ADVENTUROUS BLEND OF EXOTIC TABOOS,
A TWISTED MIX OF BEING CONFUSED.

REACH FOR THE SUN, REACH FOR THE SKY,
YOU'RE PERFECTLY HAPPY, YOU'RE IN DENIAL.

NATURAL RICHES NASTY AND TIGHT,
LOVE''S IN THE AIR SPARKED WITH SOME HYPE.

A NEW EXHILARATING TREAT,
ASTOUNDINGLY RICH AND DARINGLY MAD.

REACH FOR THE SUN, REACH FOR THE SKY,
YOU'RE PERFECTLY HAPPY, YOU'RE IN DENIAL.

ich zählte meine toten heute
so wie ich früher die geliebten zählte

schrieb sie auf auf eine liste
raste dem dunklen see entgegen

mein herz versucht sich zu erinnern
ich dacht’ es wären mehr von ihnen

doch wie immer kommen die gedanken
nicht nur wie du willst

die liste der verwundeten länger
die einschläge kommen näher
verluste werden wahrscheinlicher

ich zählte meine toten heute
ich zählte mein toten häute

Kickin Ass is one of the coolest fckn songs I ever heard. I wish there was an extended version. The remixes are not nearly as cool as the original. PIG nailed that old school 80s industrial throwback vibe. Makes me think of like Pailhead or Ministry or Paula Abdul xD Totally Awesome Album full of sick songs. Seed of Evil..
