lyrics

In a dreamy room, in a sea of familiar faces, I see him standing: / familiar face
Don't think he'll come over if I don't let him know I'm looking, so I don't.
Turn back to the table to allow the investigation to continue / Oracle ways
She puts all the cards down in a line, side by side, then turns them upwards / Showing their face

One by one their upturned mouths align
to tell me all about my future:
The breakneck speed at which I live my life
will only break my neck someday

Time has elapsed now. As the party's winding down, I suddenly see him / facing away
Laughing with a woman who has captured his attention with her dry humor / and beautiful face
In a moment they will leave but I won't see them go, and I won't miss them / Sounds easy to say
I know what I want though, and no part of it is with them. I want something / Nobody can take

One by one I pick out all the signs
They don't differ in their warning
The breakneck speed at which we live our lives
will only break our necks someday

One by one we sink into decline
All together as we're falling:
The breakneck speed at which we lived our lives
Only breaks our necks
