[Refrain]
Nothing works as simple as you thought
Take it as a souvenir
Nothing works as simple as you thought
Nothing works
It stays, it grows, it’s more and more
It disconnects, it’s at my side every day
It blocks the view, it betrays in dirty ways
It never sleeps and above all it’s self-made
You used to say it will do
But it won’t
I try to cross a street without you
To get along, yet you wait beyond
I failed
My good intentions, plans and time and again
You’re still here
This boarder’s too thin, I’m crossing
[Refrain]
Nothing works as simple as you thought
Take it as a souvenir
Nothing works as simple as you thought
Nothing works
We tried to sail the world
Without a chart
Against the wind
On sinking ships
Footprints from where we belong
I’ll follow the footprints till the end
