It's written on the wall
You can hear it on the tram
You can see it in all eyes
It won't take much longer
And it's really great news
It's really great news
That the sun and all the stars are lies and not real
And what seemed so terribly important is erased and canceled
And that's great news
Friends become strangers and no memory can come along
And all the time you wanted to save
Crumbles slowly in your hand
And that's great news
Say goodbye to the one you always wanted to be
If there's still something you want to say, do it quick
There's not much time
Because the clouds are getting dark
And the storm is drawing near
Hear the distant dogs howl
See the last starlings flee before the end
Because everything's going to change
And it was high time
Because the rust is creeping toward your eyes
And the shadow gains ground
On everything you once found so beautiful
On all the prizes you received
When the new sun rises
The streets are wide and empty
And in the morning we'll be complete strangers again
And when I meet you again
I'll finally be someone else
I'll be honest, strong and real and true and good
And then we'll drink the rain
And then we'll eat the wind
And then we'll be friends again
Just friends again like before
And that's great news
