The world's darkening for me, and I can't fight
The wheels all the way, the underside
Don't break me down to sleep
Don't bruise my head
Don't break me down to sleep
Don't bruise my head
Please be clear - die, sleep
First we fear - I sleep
Fast asleep, fast asleep
First we can, then we sleep
Fast asleep, fast asleep
Don't break me down to sleep
Don't bruise my head
Don't break me down to sleep
Don't bruise my head
(wollt ihr den totalen krieg? wenn in gott...deutschland
uber auf...totalen...totalen sieg heil...total und radikal...ein die
aus erden...total und radikal)
Yeaaaaaaaaah! Yeaaaaaaaaah!
