Kopf [English translation]

[Intro:]

We are what we think

All that we are arises with our thoughts

With our thoughts we make the world1

The head is round and so the thoughts are circling

Around you most the time, at least for me

They're saying, I didn't quite comprehend it yet

I do hear them but I do not understand

[Chorus:]

They're saying, I can't wrap my head

Around the thought

They're seeing a hole

Where you used to be

They're saying there is no hope

It's the other way round to me

Cause we still love one another

You're still there to me

A beam in your eye will cost your head and your mind

I set mine entirely upon you

The liver must bear what the heart can't stomach2

Is what my doctor says, but what does he know; hope's the last thing to die

[Chorus]

[Moses Pelham:]

You're like oxygen to me

However it may be, I need you anyway

They say, that there's a hole, right there

Where you once were and it'll take some time

Until I grasp and comprehend

You're so far off, you were never here

But I've kind of got my own perspective

On all this, on pain and affection

I blank out all the hurt completely

Just you and me and shivers on me

You appear to me constantly

When I write or when I drink

On my legs, on my hands as well

I don't get ahead when I run and flee

Even if it seems harsh, doesn't bother me

But if you're not there, then why you hearing me?

[Chorus]
