Albert Camus Songtext

von Tom Rosenthal

Did you ever read Albert Camus?
The bit about how you gotta turn away
From the world to understand it
Did you feel this too?
I was in a mindless kind of queue
And then I went a pulled myself right out
Found things just got a bit wilder

Haven't you heard right?
It's a truly absurd life
Tomorrow you could be a big hole
And the next day you could be a king
Can't return to my old ways
When the nothingness held up the days
And now come to think of it
I only got out of bed for you

I used to think nothing of the end
Repeating each day was my forte
Spinning out time like a spider with a web
Devouring every second I was fed
But then I went and sailed right out, got lost
Found things just got a bit lighter

Haven't you heard, love?
It's a truly absurd love
Tomorrow you could be a big kiss
And the next day you could be a stone
Can't return to my old lives
Quite oblivious to all of the signs
And now come to think of it
I only got out of bed for you

Invited to the feast
I only had one grape
Always arrived ahead of time
But turned out I was late
I can see now the world does not care
And that's okay with me
So I never really needed a boat to sail out to the sea

Haven't you heard right?
It's a truly absurd life
Tomorrow you could be a big hole
And the next day you could be a king
Can't return to my old ways
When the nothingness held up the days
And now come to think of it
I only got out of bed for you

Haven't you heard, love?
It's a truly absurd love
Tomorrow you could be a big kiss
And the next day you could be a stone
Can't return to my old lives
Quite oblivious to all of the signs
And now come to think of it
I only got out of bed for you
