Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

The continent of Atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed
to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.

To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I want to see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I want to see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I want to see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl is easy or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena

Girl since you whispered your name
It just keeps hanging in my brain
I tried to ignore it for too many years
All those times it echoed in my head

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody (Lena Lena)
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me (Lena Lena)

The name of a girl, this name for a song
The song is hanging on the name of the girl
Only for you I have broken this chain
Oh, before I die, you will fix the man

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody (Lena Lena)
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me

Schöne Alfenfee, zwei Sterren in der Nacht
Zwischen Bergen über Strömen ich höre dein lachen
Umkranste Edelweiss, drei Blumen in das Feld
Du bist mein Kerker und mein Himmelreich

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena Lena

Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena Lena
